At the KSCA Hubli Cricket Ground on July 3, Samit Dravid's batting drew comparisons to his father, Rahul Dravid, during the Maharaja Trophy. Coming to the crease with his team in early trouble, Samit scored 32 runs from 23 balls, helping Kalyani Bengaluru Blasters post 203/7. Despite solid performances from his teammates, including Rohan Patil’s 64, Hubli Tigers fell just short in their chase, losing by two runs. This match showcased not only Samit's technique but also his potential as a pace-bowling all-rounder, which distinguishes him from his father. His younger brother, Anvay Dravid, is also making strides as a wicketkeeper-batter for India's U-19 squad.
