India legend Rahul Dravid's elder son Samit hit a century (125) in an U-14 match on Wednesday, hinting that wall-like consistency runs in his family besides cricketing skill.
Playing for Bangalore United Cricket Club in U-14 Tiger Cup he put on 213 runs for the fourth wicket along with Pratyush (143) and defeated Frank Anthony Public School by 246 runs, reports Indian Express.
Samit has come to limelight for the second year in a row, thanks to his batting. Last year, he was declared Best Batsman in the U-12 Gopalan Cricket Challenge Cup. To earn that honour he had scored 77, 93, and 77.
The similarity between father and son does not end in consistency. All his scoring effort like in the Thursday's match have resulted in a win for his side.
Spectators who have seen him in action have commented on similarities between the father and son both in their batting and fielding.
Samit's younger brother Asmay Dravid is also said to be a budding talent in cricket.
