Anvay Dravid represents Karnataka in domestic competition, the article says. During the 2026 Vinoo Mankad Trophy he scored 151 off just 100 balls against Gujarat. That century is listed as a key contribution to his place in the India under-19 squad.

It reiterates that both have progressed through age-group pathways to earn national selection. The article also notes fans will hope the pair one day represent the senior Indian team together, as their fathers once did.
