Rahul Dravid's son Samit Dravid scores 98 in U19 match against Jammu and Kashmir; Watch Video

Rahul Dravid’s son Samit Dravid is currently playing in the U19 Cooch Behar Trophy.

Samit Dravid, son of former India captain and current India head coach Rahul Dravid, is following on the footsteps of his great father. He recently hammered 98 in a U19 match for Karnataka against Jammu and Kashmir in the ongoing Cooch Behar Trophy.

Karnataka defeated J&K by an innings and 130 runs because of Samit’s stunning knock of 13 fours and a six. Dravid’s son can be seen playing some extremely appealing shots in the video, which has been widely circulated on social media.

According to a Times Now report, J&K batted first in the Cooch Behar Trophy game and scored 170. Samit batted at No. 5 in Karnataka’s innings and added 233 runs for the fourth wicket with Karthikeya KP. The latter led the way with 163 points on 175 balls.

Karnataka declared their first innings on 480/5 in 100 overs, thanks to the excellent batting of Samit and Karthikeya. J&K failed to force Karnataka to bat again and lost the game by an innings deficit.
