It is not right to put too much pressure on him. But with a proud father in his arsenal, it is pretty much certain that he will take his batting to one step ahead in intensity in a bid to cement a coveted spot in the Indian team.

Unlike Arjun Tendulkar, Samit Dravid didn’t get too much fame or media attention but his mind would be completely free from all those distractions so that he can pursue his dream of becoming a great cricketer. The manner in which Rahul Dravid has trained his son has been simply remarkable and the statistics serve as a testament to the fact.

Samit Dravid’s batting brilliance helps his team to win the title

Samit Dravid didn’t take much time to make his mark in the age-group cricket as he is the leading run-scorer in the tournament.

He beautifully constructed the innings on the back of 26 fours and a six.

It would be really interesting to see if his son can go places just like his father.
