Rahul Dravid, one of the greatest Indian batters, recently batted together with his son Anvay in a club cricket match. The duo played for Vijaya Cricket Club (Malur) in a Third Division (Group I) match for the Nassur Memorial Shield. This rare moment adds them to the list of father-son pairs who have featured together in the same match across formats. Here are further details. In the match against Young Lions Club, Rahul batted at number six and scored 10 runs off eight balls, including a boundary. Meanwhile, Dravid Jr, a wicketkeeper-batter, outshone his father by scoring 58 runs off just 60 balls with eight boundaries. Their combined efforts helped Vijaya Cricket Club post a score of 345/7 in their 50 overs. Swapnil was the highest run-scorer for Vijaya Cricket Club, scoring a quickfire 107 off just 50 balls. His innings comprised of 12 fours and four maximums. On the bowling front, AG Aditya from Young Lions Club took four wickets (4/60). The match was a mix of experienced and budding talents on the field. Rahul Dravid recently returned to the city after staying in Guwahati for the Rajasthan Royals's pre-season camp. His elder son Samit is also a cricketer and a pace-bowling all-rounder. Dravids' participation in the club match carries forward their family's rich cricketing tradition and showcases the talent of the next generation on the cricket field. As mentioned Rahul and Anvay joined a rare list of father-son duos to have shared the crease. Other mentions include WG Grace-Grace Jr, Lala-Surinder Amarnath, Dennis-Adam Lillee, Denis-Heath Streak, Shivnarine-Tagenarine Chanderpaul, and Ian-Liam Botham.
