Samit Dravid’s Previous Performance

At present Samit is playing for Mysore Warriors in the KSCA Maharaja T20 Trophy going on in Bengaluru, his contribution having been somewhat modest so far-a total of 82 runs in seven innings with a highest of 33*, he is yet to bowl in the tournament.

Samit was the star of the Cooch Behar Trophy earlier this year, when he played a big role in Karnataka’s maiden title win. He made 362 runs from eight matches, including a fluent 98 against Jammu and Kashmir. His bowling, too, was pretty effective, as he ended up with 16 scalps in the tournament, including two important ones in the final against Mumbai.
