Dravid Sr. himself had represented the state team not just at the senior level but also at U-15, U-17 and U-19 level, making his Ranji debut during the 1991/92 season.

Dravid and Co are currently engaged in a three-ODI series against Australia. The KL Rahul led side would beat Australia five wickets in Mohali to take a 1-0 lead in the series.
