Samit Dravid's Performance In Maharaja Trophy 2024

Representing Mysore Warriors, Samit got off to a good start with a 30+ score, but failed to delivery on his early promise and struggled to get into double figures. 

In fact, Dravid has failed to cross the double-digit mark in five of the seven games he played in the Maharaja Trophy. Nonetheless, he would look to follow the footsteps of his father Rahul Dravid.
