Dravid joined his son Anvay in the KSCA Group III league tournament match and the father-son duo slammed 43 runs off 66 balls in partnership.
The former India head coach retired hurt batting at 29.
The father-son's fight with the bat couldn't save Vijaya Cricket Club from suffering a five-wicket defeat in the semi-final against Jayanagar Cricketers.
Dravid has remained the captain, director and mentor of the Royals in different years in the past.
Royals will start their IPL 2025 campaign against Sunrisers Hyderabad on March 23, a day after the tournament begins.
