For Rajasthan Royals' batter Nitish Rana, cricket was more than a passion it was a family battleground. Raised in a household divided between India's legendary batting trio Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, and Sourav Ganguly Rana often found himself emotionally invested in every match. While his father idolized Tendulkar and his brother backed Dravid, Rana was a die-hard Ganguly fan. Heated debates erupted whenever India played, and Rana would even lock himself in his room and cry if Ganguly failed while the others shone.

In a full-circle moment, Rana now finds himself playing under Rahul Dravid, a player he once fiercely debated with his brother about. His childhood love for cricket has transformed into a career, but those early memories remain close to his heart. Looking back, he now appreciates the greatness of all three icons who once fueled his childhood rivalries.
