Samit Dravid, the son of India’s legendary batsman Rahul Dravid, is making headlines in the domestic cricket circuit. Just like his father, Samit bats right-handed and has been turning heads in junior cricket with his impressive performances. He’s already established himself as a promising talent, playing for various age-group teams in Karnataka and participating in significant tournaments.
During the recent Maharaja Trophy KSCA T20 2024, Samit was playing for the Mysore Warriors against the Bengaluru Blasters at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. Although he was dismissed for a modest 7 runs, he delivered a stunning six that caught everyone’s attention. Bowling the seventh over, Naveen MG delivered a pitch-up delivery, which Samit launched with impeccable timing between long-on and deep mid-wicket. The ball soared into the stands, leaving his teammates in the dugout clapping in appreciation.
The official broadcaster of the tournament shared a video of the shot on their official X handle. Although Naveen MG had his revenge on the very next delivery by having Samit caught by Suraj Ahuja, the single shot by Samit was a clear indication of the immense talent he possesses.
While still young and in the early stages of his cricketing journey, Samit has garnered significant attention for his batting abilities and his potential to follow in his father’s footsteps. The cricketing world is watching with keen interest to see how this young batsman develops his game and continues his journey in the world of cricket.
