How Did Rahul Dravid Suffer The Injury?

Rahul Dravid suffered the injury when he was in action at a cricket match. At the KSCA's Group III league semifinal, Dravid represented the Vijaya Cricket Club and was forging a partnership with his 16-year-old son, Anvay. The veteran sustained discomfort during the game after two deliveries but continued to bat. Trouble increased at the 18th over when he injured his calf muscle and fell to the ground in agony.
