Guwahati: The iconic Rahul Dravid-Virender Sehwag combination could be back in Team India colours — but there is a major twist to the story.
Years after the two Indian batting legends shared the dressing room and dominated attacks together, their sons Samit Dravid and Aryavir Sehwag have reportedly been named in India’s Under-19 setup.
The development has triggered excitement among cricket fans, bringing back memories of one of India’s most entertaining batting combinations.
Dravid-Sehwag 2.0 Is Here
Rahul Dravid and Virender Sehwag formed a formidable partnership for India during their playing days.
Dravid was known for his classical technique, patience and ability to bat for long periods, while Sehwag brought an explosive style that could change a match within a few overs.
Now, the next generation could be preparing to write its own chapter.
Samit Dravid, son of the former India captain and head coach, has progressed through the domestic age-group system. Aryavir Sehwag, son of the legendary opener, has also been making his presence felt in youth cricket.
Same Team, New Generation
The possibility of Samit and Aryavir playing together for India at the Under-19 level has added a fascinating twist to the story.
For fans who grew up watching Dravid and Sehwag together, seeing their sons in the same India setup is nothing short of a nostalgic moment.
It is not the return of the original Dravid-Sehwag partnership, but a new-generation version that could potentially develop into something special.
Famous Fathers, Big Expectations
The two youngsters will inevitably face comparisons with their legendary fathers.
However, Samit and Aryavir will have to create their own identities and prove themselves through their performances.
Being the sons of two Indian cricket icons brings enormous attention, but it also comes with equally enormous expectations.
The India U-19 setup could provide both youngsters with an important platform to gain experience and demonstrate their potential at the international level.
Will History Repeat Itself?
Dravid and Sehwag were part of several memorable Indian teams and shared the field during some of the country’s biggest cricketing moments.
Now, their sons potentially entering the same Team India pathway has given fans a reason to dream about another Dravid-Sehwag combination.
The surnames are the same, the jersey could be the same — but this time, the story belongs to Samit Dravid and Aryavir Sehwag.
Dravid-Sehwag 2.0 could be one of the most intriguing father-to-son cricket stories to watch in Indian cricket.
