Arjun Tendulkar has created a memorable piece of cricketing history. While playing for Goa, he dismissed Samit Dravid, son of Rahul Dravid. This eerily repeated a feat from 22 years ago when his father, Sachin, dismissed Rahul in a high-profile match.

Alur, September 23

Arjun Tendulkar, representing the Goa Cricket Association, dismissed Rahul Dravid's son Samit Dravid during the K Thimmapaiah Memorial Tournament match at Alur.

Goa Cricket Association was bundled out for 338 runs as their skipper Darshan Missal won the toss and elected to bat first at the Platinum Oval stadium. Lalit Yadav was the top-scorer with a brilliant 113, followed by Abhinav Taneja, who made 88. Batting at number nine, cricketing icon Sachin Tendulkar's son, Arjun, made nine runs.

In response, the KSCA XI collapsed to 94/5 from a solid position of 53/1. It was Arjun who claimed three of these five wickets and removed Samit for nine runs.

However, Lochan Gowda emerged as a saviour for the Karnataka side and added 93 for the sixth-wicket with wicketkeeper-batter Kruthik Sharma (95). KSCA XI made 276 runs in reply. Arjun ended with figures of 3/54, as per Wisden.

In the third innings, Goa was 45/2, with Manthan Khutkar (18) and Ishaan Gadekar (3) at the crease.

Notably, Sachin had also dismissed Samit's father, legendary Rahul Dravid, during the 2003/4 edition of the NKP Salve Challengers Trophy. The tournament served as an audition to feature in India's ODI side. Sachin, while representing India A in the final, removed India B's Rahul.

Sachin top-scored for his side with a 95-ball 88, while S Sriram scored a brisk 55-ball 70. Rohan Gavaskar, the son of legendary batter Sunil Gavaskar, made 45-ball 49 as India A posted 314/6.

In response, India B collapsed to 58/3, before Rahul (27 in 34 balls) and all-rounder Yuvraj Singh (47 in 51 balls) added 65 for the fourth wicket. However, Sachin broke the partnership, cleaning up Rahul's stumps. India B was bundled out for 215 as Ramesh Powar picked up 3/29.

While the headline is catchy, let's not put too much pressure on these young players. They're trying to make their own mark, not just live up to their fathers' legacies. Good bowling performance though!

3/54 is a decent spell! Arjun seems to be improving with each match. Hope he continues working hard and doesn't get distracted by the media attention. The real test will be consistent performances.

Interesting to see how cricket dynasties continue in India. First Gavaskar, then Tendulkar and Dravid. Must be incredible pressure growing up with such famous fathers in the same sport!

The media should focus more on the match itself rather than just the famous surnames. Goa putting up 338 is noteworthy, and Lalit Yadav's century deserves more attention!

Emotional moment for cricket lovers who grew up watching Sachin vs Dravid battles. Hope both Arjun and Samit get fair opportunities to prove themselves without constant comparisons. All the best to both! 🙏
