Samit Dravid is looking set to follow in the footsteps of his legendary father Rahul Dravid, as he is constantly turning heads with his exploits in junior cricket, hitting a second double-century in less than two months in the U-14 BTR Shield tournament.

At the age of just 14, Samit had cracked a record double century in an Under-14 inter-zonal tournament in December last year, scoring 201 off 256 balls that were studded with 22 boundaries for Vice-President's XI against Dharwad Zone.

Now, Dravid junior has made the headlines once again with a double century for Mallya Aditi International School in the BTR Shield Under-14 Group I, Division II.

The young batter played an innings of 211* runs off 256 balls with the help of 27 boundaries to help Mallya Aditi International School to put on a big total of 386/3. He also contributed with the ball as well, taking two wickets to play his part in his team’s 132 runs win in the match.

Noteworthy, Dravid, who was fondly called The Wall, is one of the greatest ever batsmen to have graced the game, is currently serving as the head of the National Cricket Academy (NCA).
