The ISL will be a new chapter in the clubs history and Im looking forward to being part of it in my capacity with BFC.” Bengaluru FC CEO, Parth Jindal felt the club has found a perfect fit in Dravid. “Getting Rahul Dravid involved with Bengaluru FC is a huge honour for all of us. Being a true Bengalurian and a believer in youth, we can think of no one who imbibes the values and ethics of this club more than him.” The Blues kick-off their debut season in the ISL with a home fixture against Mumbai City FC on November 19 at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium.
