For the unversed, Dravid is currently rehabbing from a leg injury sustained during a club match in Bengaluru.

Rahul Dravid recently made a surprising comeback to cricket, teaming up with his son Anvay in KSCA Division III league. Playing for Vijaya Cricket Club (Malur), Dravid’s injury happened during the semifinal clash against Jayanagar Cricketers.
Dravid stepped onto the field to join his son Anvay when their team were struggling at 12/3.
Two deliveries into his innings, the 52-year-old Dravid appeared in discomfort due to leg trouble but continued to bat. Despite visibly struggling, he pushed through the pain and built a 43-run partnership with his son off 66 balls.
However, in the 18th over, while attempting a run, Dravid halted in pain after a few steps, having reportedly pulled a calf muscle, and had to be assisted off the field by his teammates. Unfortunately, his resilient performance of 29 before retiring hurt wasn’t enough to secure a victory for Vijaya Cricket Club.
