Rahul Dravid, the former Indian cricketer and current head coach of the Indian national team, remains an illustrious name in the world of cricket. Renowned for his solid and disciplined defensive batting technique, the batter posed a formidable challenge to numerous world-class bowlers throughout his illustrious career.
Following in Rahul’s footsteps, his son, Samit Dravid, has recently captured the attention of cricket enthusiasts with his sublime performances in the U-19 Cooch Behar Trophy. The echoes of Rahul’s technical prowess seem to resonate in Samit’s batting style, as he displayed a mature and composed approach at the crease.
It is worth noting that Rahul and his wife Vijeta were spotted attending Samit’s match against Uttarakhand at the SDNRW Ground in Mysuru earlier this month. The 50-year-old never misses a opportunity to witness and support his son’s cricketing endeavours on the domestic stage.
