Anvay Dravid Performance for India U19: Rahul Dravid has been seen many times as Team India’s troubleshooter and its wall on the cricket field. His example is also given regarding this. But, now his younger son Anvay has also followed his path. At least, this is what it seems after looking at Anvay Dravid’s innings in the match against Sri Lanka Under-19 on 6th July. In this match, Anvay Dravid has played the biggest innings of his Under-19 career and played at a difficult time when the team needed him the most.
Miracle of Rahul Dravid’s son in difficult times
In the second ODI match against Sri Lanka Under 19 team, India Under 19 team came to bat first at Hambantota ground. But his move of winning the toss and batting first seemed to backfire when his top 4 batsmen returned to the pavilion long before 100 runs were put on the score board. In such a situation, Anvay Dravid, who came to bat in the middle order, not only kept the score board running by playing a fast innings but also made a century partnership with Arjun Rajput for the 5th wicket.
