Rahul Dravid's Son Hits Huge Six in Maharaja Trophy

Samit Dravid, son of Rahul Dravid, hit a huge six in a Maharaja Trophy T20 match. He played for Mysuru Warriors and was dismissed for seven runs off seven balls. Samit Dravid was bought by Mysuru Warriors for Rs 50,000 in the player auction.

The cricketing world watched in awe as a familiar name once again graced the field, this time not the legendary Rahul Dravid, but his son Samit, who showcased his own batting prowess in a Maharaja Trophy T20 match. The younger Dravid, playing for the Mysuru Warriors, sent shockwaves through the M Chinnaswamy stadium in Bengaluru by launching a massive six in the face of fast bowler Gnehswar Naveen's delivery. The moment was a testament to the inheriting of cricketing talent within the Dravid family, sparking excitement and anticipation for Samit's future in the sport.

While the six left the audience mesmerized, Samit's innings was unfortunately short-lived. He fell victim to the very next ball, departing for a score of seven runs off seven deliveries. Despite his brief appearance, the video of his powerful six quickly went viral on social media, igniting further curiosity about the young cricketer's potential. Samit's introduction to the match came after the dismissal of SU Karthik in the fifth over, creating a moment of anticipation for the son of a cricketing legend.

The Mysuru Warriors, led by Mayank Agarwal, managed to set a respectable target of 182/6, thanks in part to contributions from Harshil Dhamani and Manoj Bhandage. While Samit's innings was brief, it was his performance in the player auction that truly highlighted his burgeoning cricketing career. The Mysuru Warriors had secured Samit's services for a fee of Rs 50,000, signifying their belief in his abilities. Beyond his impressive batting, Samit also demonstrates skills with the ball, bowling medium pace and showcasing his versatility in the middle order. He's already achieved a level of recognition within the Karnataka cricket circuit, having represented the state's U-19 team in their victory in the 2024-2023 Cooch Behar Trophy. He further solidified his place in the cricketing world by participating for the Karnataka State Cricket Association XI in a three-day encounter against the Lancashire side in Alur.
