Samit Dravid, son of India's legendary cricketer Rahul Dravid, was included by the Mysuru Warriors for the Maharaja Trophy KSCA T20 tournament last month. The 18-year-old who bats right-handed, much like his father, made his debut earlier this week. Even though it was an extraordinary start for the teenaged batter and he could only contribute single-digit scores in his first two matches, Samit still managed to capture the attention of the fans with his bat swing stance.

It was a humongous six, in particular, which he smashed against Bengaluru Blasters which caught the fans' eyes and immediately sparked comparisons of him with the India great. Samit had walked out to bat at number four but could only muster 7 runs. However, the shot with which he reaped a maximum was enough to get the fans talking.

Samit Dravid Had A Brilliant Run In 2023-24 Cooch Behar Trophy

Notably, Samit is an all-rounder and had a great run in the 2023-24 Cooch Behar Trophy. He played a pivotal role in the team going on to win the title. He accumulated 362 runs from eight matches. The one inninngs that stood out was his 98 against Jammu and Kashmir. He was more than useful with the ball, claiming 16 wickets in the tournament that included a two-wicket haul in the final against Mumbai.

As far as Dravid senior is concerned, after retiring as a cricketer, he had a successful stint as a coach as well which culminated with him going on to lift the T20 World Cup trophy in June this year, his first world title in his entire player and coaching career.
