Dravid dons cricketer hat again in III Division
The Morning Standard
|February 23, 2025
WHEN RV Pradhan Kumar Urs saw former India captain Rahul Dravid turn up at the SLS Kreedangana (T) Ground on Saturday morning around 8.45 AM, he was not really surprised.
His son Anvay's team, Vijaya Cricket Club (Malur), was playing against Young Lions Cricket Club in a KSCA third-division match for the Sri Nassur Memorial Shield and Pradhan Kumar thought the 52-year-old was there to watch the match. But when he saw that Dravid was nominated in the team sheet as a player, he had been doing some knocking by that time in whites, the veteran umpire was pleasantly surprised. "I thought he must be in the camp, normally he comes and be with his players. Only when I saw the nomination list, we came to know. I never expected to put on whites and play," Pradhan Kumar told this daily.
