Reportedly former indian captain and batting legend rahul Dravid's son, Samit, has made the headlines once again with a double century in an Under-14 state-level match this week. Meanwhile at just 14 years old, Samit, scored 201 for Vice-President's XI vs Dharwad Zone in an Under-14 inter-zonal tournament here. Samit's innings lasted 256 balls including 22 hits to the fence. But Sami's hunger for runs didn't stop there.
Furthermore in the 2nd innings, he remained unbeaten on a stroke-filled 94 as the match ended in a draw and if you thought his performance with the bat wasn't enough, Samit also took 3 wickets to showcase his all-round skills. Apparently Samit shot to fame in 2015 at the U-12 level cricket in bengaluru by slamming three half-centuries playing for his school Mallya Aditi International. All his three fifties came in match-winning causes.
Earlier in 2016, Samit was in the news again when playing for bangalore United cricket Club, he scored 125 against Frank Anthony Public School. Samit combined with Pratyush G (143) and added 213 runs for the fourth wicket, as their team registered a crushing 246 run win at the Loyola school grounds in a 30 over game. Moreover it looks like Samit is cetainly following in his dad's footsteps. rahul is considered to be the greatest ever batsman to have played for india at the coveted No.3 position. In an illustrious career spanning 16 years, Dravid scored 13288 Test and 10889 ODI runs.
