With the passage of time, the cricketing fans have witnessed some of the best talents represent their nation. Their aura brought the game of cricket into the limelight and they can be termed as the pioneers of gentlemen’s game. These legends have a lasting impact on the sport and they even have their names etched in the history books.

Like all good things comes to an end their cricketing journey also comes to a fitting end which makes the game of cricket poorer. Then their fans are just left with their memories but sometimes the legacy is continued by their descendants. It might be difficult for them to emulate their father’s achievements but in recent times some of these youngsters have begun theirs sojourn on a positive note.

Here is the list of 5 great cricketers whose sons are set to be upcoming cricketers

<a href="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/2018/08/Arjun-Tendulkar.jpg"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-273048" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Arjun-Tendulkar.jpg" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" alt="Arjun Tendulkar" width="640" height="400"></a><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">Arjun Tendulkar.

For Indian batting, the God of Cricket was a torchbearer for almost two decades. The right-hander caressed even the greatest of bowlers with ease and in the process, he broke every possible batting record. Sachin was one of the chief architects when the nation won its second World Cup in 2011. At the peak of his powers, Master’s batting grace kept the entire cricketing world in a trance and now his life is inspiring millions of youngsters.

Such is his popularity that when he retired fans wept for days and wished for another Tendulkar donning the Indian jersey. Their prayers were answered when <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/world-cup-2019-arjun-tendulkar-bowls-at-the-england-batsmen-in-the-nets/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Arjun Tendulkar</strong></a> got selected in the Mumbai U-19 squad. The youngster is a left-arm pacer and has already played for the Indian U-19 side.

A couple of months ago he was showcasing his talent in the Mumbai T20 league. Nowadays Arjun has been sharpening his skills in England as he has been a net bowler for sides like Australia and England in the 2019 World Cup. It will be a fairytale if the Indian bowling mantle is taken forward by the junior Tendulkar in the coming years.

The former Australian skipper, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/alex-carey-a-hybrid-of-michael-hussey-michael-bevan-says-an-impressed-steve-waugh/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Steve Waugh</strong></a> is one of the cricketers who laid the foundation of the golden era for the country’s cricket. Throughout the ’90s Waugh was the lynchpin of Australia’s middle order and his 32 Test centuries is the testimony of the fact. Along with the tag of the most successful captain in Test history he was the leader when the Kangaroos lifted the title in 1999.

Steve was a player who relied on hard work and sheer determination for success and it paid off as his career was full of glittering moments. After representing the nation for almost two decades Steve Waugh retired in 2004 and the game lost a gem of a cricketing character. Now his legacy will be shouldered by his son, Austin Waugh. He has already shown his hunger for success when he piled 372 runs at an average of 74 in the U-17 50 over National championships.

Last year he also played the U-19 World Cup for the Men in Yellow.  Like his father, Austin’s strong suit is his batting but he can also chip in with useful wickets with his medium-pace bowling. Even his batting style and mannerisms on the field resemble his old men so it will be a treat to watch him in the near future at the big stage.

<a href="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/2018/07/Thando-Ntini.jpg"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-269331" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Thando-Ntini.jpg" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" alt="Thando Ntini" width="640" height="400"></a><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">Thando Ntini.

South Africa has always been home to some of the best fast-bowling exponents and one of them was Makhaya Ntini. Spotted by a cricket board development officer, Raymond Booi as a young boy herding cattle, Ntini defied all the odds to become a national hero. With his unique action and ability to bowl marathon spells without compromising his pace Makhaya was a lion-hearted cricketer who never let down his skipper in tough times.

Still, he is the third leading wicket-taker for Proteas across formats having picked up more than 650 international wickets. The Mdingi Express was the first black player to represent the rainbow nation and he inspired many others to take up the game including his son, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/thando-ntini-makes-waves-as-arjun-tendulkar-has-a-quiet-time-in-sri-lanka/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Thando Ntini</strong></a>. The youngster was the part of the 2018 U-19 World Cup which was played in New Zealand.

Later in that year, he showed his class when he picked up a 4-fer against England in a Youth ODI game. Of late CSA handed him a central contract which shows his rise as a cricketer and now he is also a member of the Western Province in the domestic circuit. Thando Ntini is rightly following his father’s footprints and he surely looks a good prospect for the South African cricket.

The right-hander was one of the players who thrived under pressure as many of India’s famous victories coincides with his batting brilliance. Fondly known as the Wall of Indian cricket Dravid has accumulated more than 24,000 runs in his international expedition.

He has often received praise from around the globe for his integrity and attitude towards the game and that’s why he can be called Captain Marvel of gentlemen’s game. When the former Indian skipper bid farewell in 2012 it was an emotional moment for all the cricket lovers. Soon he continued his services by shaping the future stars of Indian cricket but all this time his son, Samit Dravid also started taking baby steps in his cricketing sojourn.

In 2015 he was awarded the Best Batsman in a U-12 competition named Gopalan cricket challenge. After a couple of years, he had again made headlines for stroking 150 in a U-14 tournament. The youngster has the best guide in the form of his father and if he follows his footsteps then the world cricket will be blessed with another cricketing genius.

In the last decade, the Black Caps have evolved into a cricketing superpower and some of the credit should go to their former skipper, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/global-t20-canada-2019-yuvraj-singh-and-brendon-mccullum-to-play-for-toronto-nationals-in-the-upcoming-season/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Brendon McCullum</strong></a>. He led the side to its maiden World Cup final and also changed the dynamics of the country’s cricket with his aggressive approach. The right-hander has frequently awed the audience with his attacking strokeplay and innovative batting.

Though he is mostly remembered for his white ball exploits McCullum is the only New Zealand cricketer to stroke a triple century in the classic format. He was an impact player who received a perfect swansong in front of his home crowd. The fans miss McCullum’s presence on the field but now they will not have to wait long as his son, Riley McCullum is quickly rising through the pecking order.

In 2017 the youngster was the leading run-scorer in the U-14 Primary Boys tournament and his senior even shared the news on his Twitter account. He helped his side Waikato Valley win the title with his all-round abilities as he scored 183 runs and scaled 8 wickets in 5 games. An important feature of his batting was his strike rate of 96 which clearly tells that another entertainer will soon join the Kiwi bandwagon.

These youngsters are making the right noises and if they achieve even half of their senior’s success then they would have done justice to their family name.

<p>In the last decade, the Black Caps have evolved into a cricketing superpower and some of the credit should go to their former skipper, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/global-t20-canada-2019-yuvraj-singh-and-brendon-mccullum-to-play-for-toronto-nationals-in-the-upcoming-season/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Brendon McCullum</strong></a>. He led the side to its maiden World Cup final and also changed the dynamics of the country’s cricket with his aggressive approach. The right-hander has frequently awed the audience with his attacking strokeplay and innovative batting.</p>
<p>Though he is mostly remembered for his white ball exploits McCullum is the only New Zealand cricketer to stroke a triple century in the classic format. He was an impact player who received a perfect swansong in front of his home crowd. The fans miss McCullum’s presence on the field but now they will not have to wait long as his son, Riley McCullum is quickly rising through the pecking order.</p>
<p>In 2017 the youngster was the leading run-scorer in the U-14 Primary Boys tournament and his senior even shared the news on his Twitter account. He helped his side Waikato Valley win the title with his all-round abilities as he scored 183 runs and scaled 8 wickets in 5 games. An important feature of his batting was his strike rate of 96 which clearly tells that another entertainer will soon join the Kiwi bandwagon.</p>
<p>These youngsters are making the right noises and if they achieve even half of their senior’s success then they would have done justice to their family name.</p>
