Former India cricketer Rahul Dravid's son Samit seems to be following his father's footsteps. All of 10 years of age, Samit scored a century in an Under-14 club cricket match at the Loyola ground in Bangalore. Representing Bangalore United Cricket Club (BUCC), which his father serves as a President, Samit stroked 125 against Frank Anthony Public School in the Tiger Cup cricket tournament. Samit's 125, which was decorated with 12 boundaries, was the second-highest score since his team-mate Pratyush G remained unbeaten on 143. Samit and Pratyush's combined effort resulted in a emphatic 246-run win for the BUCC. This however, is not the first time Samit has made headlines. He was earlier awarded the 'Best Batsman' in a U-12 Gopalan Cricket Challenge in September last year. Dravid, who is currently mentor of the Delhi Daredevils, had earlier spoken about his son's contrasting batting style. "He's ok, he's got good hand-eye coordination. But no, he just smashes it and that is what I encourage him to do - just smash it," Dravid had said of Samit last year.
