We might see another Dravid play for the Indian cricket team. Rahul Dravid’s son, Samit, has rolled back the years. The 18-year-old batter has grasped everyone’s attention after hitting his father’s trademark cut shot during the warm-up match between Karnataka State Cricket Association XI and Lancashire.
Rahul = Samit Dravid
The 2-at match being played in Bengaluru is serving as a pre-season training camp for Lancashire ahead of the start of the County Championships on April 5.
Coming in to bat with KSCA XI at 62/3, it didn’t take long to settle in the middle. He hit his father, Rahul Dravid’s, trademark cut shot off a short ball by left-arm spinner Josh Boyden. The batter got rocked back and rolled his wrists to guide the ball to the boundary.
Despite getting off to a nice start, Samit failed to go on. He was outdone by Jack Morely, ending up with a 45-ball 25. The rare failure comes as a shock, with the 18-year-old raking up the runs in the Cooch Behar Trophy. Samit scored 362 runs in 8 matches at 36 and proved handy with the ball as well, taking 16 wickets at 19.
