Anvay Dravid, son of legendary India cricketer Rahul Dravid , continues to impress in domestic cricket. Coming in to bat at No. Still only 17, Anvay is currently lighting up the Vinoo Mankad Trophy, the nation’s premier under-19 one-day cricket tournament. On Monday, playing for Karnataka against Delhi, Anvay smashed a sensational knock of 85 off just 41 deliveries. 4, Anvay hammered seven sixes and five boundaries, propelling his team to a massive score of 418/4. Karnataka ended up winning the match by 198 runs.
Interestingly, in the match, Dravid faced off against Aaryavir Sehwag, son of legendary opener Virender Sehwag . Aaryavir captained and opened the batting for Delhi, scoring 32 runs off 35 balls.
On Monday, however, the two were rivals on the field. Both Anvay and Aaryavir have recently broken into India’s U19 team, and are expected to be selected for the upcoming U19 Asia Cup in November. Anvay, in particular, has been in exceptional form in the Vinoo Mankad Trophy. His best performance for India U19 to date was also a swashbuckling display in the middle order.
The middle-order batter slammed 104 off just 62 balls against Chandigarh in Karnataka’s previous game. In a youth one-day game against Sri Lanka U19, Anvay had slammed 87 runs off only 67 balls.
