Before their crucial encounter against the Kolkata Knight Riders, the Rajasthan Royals were practicing in the Brabourne Stadium. Among the big guns, look who was a member of the practice sessions.

Being Rahul Dravid's son, means that cricket must run through his veins. While Rajasthan's practise session prior to a do-or-die match against KKR, Rahul Dravid's two sons, Samit and Anvay Dravid were seen practising along with hard hitter Steven Smith.
With the two aged just nine and six respectively, the sport means to them equally what it meant to 'The Wall'. And they exactly proved that. While Dravid was busy in his mentoring business, the duo found a way towards Steven Smith and were engaged in buying some great tips.

Anvay, the younger one, was more enthusiastic. The right hander was very athletic in the field. Attempting diving catches, sliding to stop the ball. Indeed he was taking the best advantage of the RR captain.
Hope the youngster will follow his fathers footsteps. Dravid himself began playing cricket from an early age of 12 and even represented Karnataka at the U-15, U-17 and U-19 levels. He went on to become one of India's greatest batsman.
After announcing his retirement in 2012, the 42-year-old now acts as commentator and is the mentor of IPL side Rajasthan royals.
