Mysuru Warriors signed Samit Dravid, the son of former India cricketer and head coach, Rahul Dravid, during the player auction for the ongoing Maharaja T20 Trophy 2024.
He hasn’t had a great start to the season, returning with single-digit scores in the first two games. However, he impressed the fans with a six that he hit against Bengaluru Blasters.
The bowler bowled it short and on the fourth stump. Samit picked up the length early and played the pull shot to perfection. The video didn’t take a lot of time to get viral on social media. Here’s a look at that:
