Samit Dravid, the son of legendary Indian cricketer Rahul Dravid, has showcased his impressive power-hitting abilities in the ongoing KSCA Maharaja T20 Trophy. Playing for Mysuru Warriors, the 18-year-old smashed a six in the 10th over of the innings against Gulbarga Mystics, sending the ball soaring over the deep-cover region.
Samit’s six, which came off the bowling of Praveen Dubey, has garnered significant attention on social media, with many fans drawing comparisons to his father’s elegant strokeplay. The video of the shot has gone viral, highlighting the young batsman’s potential.
Samit’s performance in the Maharaja Trophy is a continuation of his impressive form in age-group tournaments. He was part of the Karnataka under-19 side that won the Cooch Behar Trophy this season and has also represented KSCA XI against the visiting Lancashire side earlier this year.
Mysuru Warriors acquired Samit’s services for Rs 50,000, recognizing his talent and promise. A team official praised Samit’s contributions, stating, “It’s good to have him in our side as he has shown a lot of promise in various age-group tournaments for KSCA.”
In the match against Gulbarga Mystics, Samit scored 33 runs off 24 balls, including four boundaries and a six. His innings helped Mysuru Warriors post a strong total of 196/8 in their 20 overs. However, the Mystics emerged victorious, thanks to an unbeaten century from K Smaran.
Despite the loss, Samit’s performance has generated excitement among cricket fans, who believe he has the potential to follow in his father’s footsteps and become a successful cricketer.
