Samit Dravid, the son of the Indian batting legend, Rahul Dravid has registered a match-winning performance during the school competition. Samit led his school team to achieve a comprehensive win.

The Story of Junior Dravid:

Samit, who is elder son of Rahul banked on an impressive all-rounder performance that helped his school team to clinch the match with ease.

The son of current Indian coach of Under-19 and India A displayed brilliant performance in an Under-14 encounter of the Cottonian Shield in Bangalore.

Junior Dravid played a brilliant knock of 51 runs with the bat, and he got three scalps by just leaking nine runs.

With his gorgeous performance, Mallya Aditi International School bagged a nine-wicket win against the Cambridge Public School.

Some bamboozling performance in his past.

This is not the first time that Sumit managed to achieve such an outstanding feat. He has been a headline for media houses even before fresh brilliance.

Due to his blistering performance from past couple of years, the junior ‘wall’ already kisses a hefty amount of name and fame.

He has remained amongst the top run-getters from the last couple of years.

In January this year, he notched up a match-winning century in the BTW Cup U-14 Tournament.

In 2015, he was announced as “Best Batsman” during a competition known as the Under-12 Gopalan Cricket Challenge (GCC).

The next step of the ladder:

The son of former Indian great, Sachin Tendulkar has already been a student of Rahul. Arjun Tendulkar is currently playing in Under-19 cricket, and presently he is on Sri Lankan tour.

He claimed two wickets as visitors bowled out Sri Lanka for 324 in the third innings.

It is expected that Sumit Dravid will continue to work hard and in future, he will be part of Indian national team like Arjun.

But Samit Dravid can only represent himself if he manages to continue piling up strong performances at the junior level.
