Image Source: lockerdome.com[/caption] Internet Desk: Samit Dravid, son of iconic Indian cricketer Rahul Dravid seems to be following his father’s footsteps. 10 years old Samit scored a century in an Under-14 club cricket match at the Loyola ground in Bangalore. He was playing for Bangalore United Cricket Club (BUCC), which his father serves as a President; Dravid junior 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 an emphatic 246-run win for the BUCC. The tournament features a total of 16 school and clubs teams. Overall, 117 matches will be played across 35 days. Earlier young Samit made headlines when he  was awarded the 'Best Batsman' in a U-12 Gopalan Cricket Challenge in September last year. Back then, he scored three match-winning half-centuries with scores of 77*, 93, and 77 in the final playing for his school Mallya Aditi International. The mentor of Delhi Daredevils earlier commented about his son, "I don't really get into trying to coach him too much. I just want him to enjoy it and just play the game, have some fun with it. He plays different sports at the moment, which is good - he plays football and cricket, he swims. So that's nice. He is too young at the moment for anything more.
