This Former India Head Coach's Son Scores Unbeaten Hundred In Domestic Tournament

Rahul Dravid's younger son has had his moment in the ongoing Vijay Merchant Trophy. He scored an unbeaten ton in the quarter-finals of the tournament in the U-16 category against Punjab.

Punjab won the toss in the knock-out match and Gursimran Singh in particular scored 230 off 432 balls including 32 boundaries. Six other batters from the team scored half-centuries.

Rahul Dravid's son Anvay scored a brilliant 110 off 234 balls including 12 boundaries. Wickets kept falling around him and he finally found a partner in Dhyaan M Hiremath with whom he added 95-runs for the seventh wicket.

Karnataka responded by scoring 280/7 as the match ended in a draw. Punjab, however, qualified for the next round of the tournament. Anvay scored another hundred in the tournament previously against Jharkhand, scoring 100 off 153 balls with 10 fours and two sixes.

Anvay Dravid ended up as his team's leading run-scorer with 459 runs in eight innings including three half centuries and two centuries. Rahul Dravid's elder son Samit is already a part of the senior team in the Men's domestic T20 team. He has already played in the Maharaja League for the Mysuru Warriors.

Team India In Deep Waters After Rahul Dravid's Coaching Tenure

Speaking about Rahul Dravid, he gave up on India coaching after helping the team win the T20 World Cup title for the second time in June last year. Under him, the team achieved a lot of success with the T20 World Cup win topping them all.

Gautam Gambhir replaced him as the next coach of the Indian team and things have started going downhill. After losing the ODI series to Sri Lanka at the start of 2024, the team under Gambhir failed to win the Test series against Australia and could not retain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

The BCCI then had to intervene and take some tough calls after their below-par performance against Australia. India will be playing a white-ball series against England followed by the Champions Trophy 2025 under Gambhir and his coaching staff who are under the scanner.
