Samit Dravid gets his first Maharaja Trophy T20 contract

Samit Dravid, son of former India captain and head coach Rahul Dravid, bagged his first Maharaja Trophy KSCA T20 contract with last season’s runners-up Mysuru Warriors at an auction in Bengaluru on Thursday.

Dravid, an 18-year-old allrounder, was bought for a price of INR 50,000. A medium-pacer, he was part of the Karnataka Under-19 team that won the 2023-24 Cooch Behar Trophy, and represented the KSCA XI in a three-day match against the Lancashire team at Alur.

For Warriors, Dravid will be led by Karun Nair, who has been retained as the captain of the team. The Warriors also picked up allrounders K Gowtham for INR 7.4 lakh and J Suchith for INR 4.8 lakh, while fast bowler Prasidh Krishna, who recently underwent surgery on his proximal quadriceps tendon, received INR 1 lakh.

Wicketkeeper LR Chethan, who played for Gulbarga Mystics last season, was the most expensive player in the auction, joining Bengaluru Blasters for a price of INR 8.2 lakh. The Blasters will be led by Mayank Agarwal, who is retained along with Suraj Ahuja, Shubhang Hegde, and Mohsin Khan. Legspinner Shreyas went to Mangaluru Dragons for INR 7.6 lakh.

Mystics retained Devdutt Padikkal, who missed last season due to injury, and Vijaykumar Vyshak and acquired the services of Luvnith Sisodia for INR 7.2 lakh. Defending champions Hubli Tigers have acquired legspinner KC Cariappa for INR 4.2 lakh. They will also be led by Manish Pandey and have fast bowler Vidwath Kaverappa in their ranks.

The 2024 Maharaja Trophy season is likely to be held from September 15 to October 1 with all matches to be played at the Chinnaswamy Stadium.
