SL Under-19 vs IND Under-19: Today has become a very special and historic day in the history of Indian cricket. When India’s Under-19 team, which went on Sri Lanka tour, came to play the first unofficial ODI match on the ground of Hambantota, a unique sight was seen. In this match, all the 11 players included in the playing-11 have made their Under-19 ODI debut for India together. That means a completely new and young army of India has entered the field. The biggest and most talked about name in this entire new team is Anvay Dravid, the younger son of India’s legendary batsman and former head coach Rahul Dravid, who has made a new beginning in the blue jersey.

Anvay Dravid has been included as a wicketkeeper-batsman in this team led by captain Yashvardhan Chauhan. Anvay has consistently performed brilliantly in domestic and junior level cricket for some time, the reward for which was his selection in the Indian Under-19 team. Rahul Dravid’s elder son Samit Dravid is already making a name for himself in the cricket circuit, and now younger son Anvay has also taken forward the legacy of the Dravid family by representing the country.
Unique debut of all 11 players together
It is very rare to see such a thing in cricket when the entire team is debuting in a match. Let us tell you, the Indian Under-19 team is currently on a tour of Sri Lanka, where a three-match ODI series is being played between the two teams. After the end of this series, two youth test matches will also be played between the young players of both the countries. Fans are hopeful that like Rahul Dravid, his son and other young stars of the country will hoist the flag of India by performing strongly on Sri Lankan soil.
India’s playing-11:
Yashvardhan Chauhan (captain), Lakshya Raichandani, Sagar Virk, Kushagra Ojha, Anvay Dravid (wicketkeeper), Yashvir Gaur, Arjun Rajput, Shavin Vinod, Mohit Ulva, Kavya Paresh Patel and Rohit Yadav.
