Rahul Dravid was known for his traditional batting style throughout his career and was famous for playing gaps and hitting boundaries. However, his son Samit has a more aggressive batting style, which has been seen in recent matches and has gone viral on social media.
Rahul Dravid, the former captain and coach of Team India, is currently on a break from cricket. After Team India’s T20 World Cup win, he stepped down as coach, and there have been speculations about him taking up a role with an IPL franchise. Whether this will happen or not will be known in the coming weeks, but Dravid is certainly happy to see his son playing at the domestic level.
Samit’s Viral Video
Samit Dravid, Rahul’s elder son, is currently participating in a T20 tournament. Although he hasn’t scored many runs, one particular shot has caught everyone’s attention. This shot was completely different from his father’s traditional batting style.
Attention-Grabbing Shot
Samit is playing in the Maharaja T20 League for the Mysuru Warriors. In a recent match against the Bengaluru Blasters on August 16, 2024, he made a strong impression with one shot. Although Samit started slowly and only scored one run from five balls, he hit a spectacular six off the next ball. The ball flew high into the stands, showcasing both modern aggression and traditional cricketing flair. This shot has become a hit on social media.
Samit’s Different Style
Samit’s six surprised many because his father Rahul Dravid is remembered for his grounded batting style. People expected Samit to play in a similar fashion, but he showed that he has his own style and knows how to hit big shots in today’s game. Although his innings did not last long and he was out after scoring 7 runs, this one shot highlighted his talent and potential.
