Arjun Tendulkar Dismisses Samit Dravid in KSCA Thimmappiah Trophy Clash

The high-visibility duel unfolded in a Ranji warm‑up tournament that doubles as a form and selection gauge ahead of the 2025–26 domestic season.

Overview

  • Bowling for Goa in Alur near Bengaluru, Arjun Tendulkar removed Samit Dravid for 9 off 26 balls, with Kashab Bakle taking the catch after two early boundaries.
  • Arjun claimed three wickets in the innings, striking early to dismiss KSCA Secretary’s XI captain Nikin Jose and later adding two more breakthroughs.
  • Goa posted 338 in their first innings before KSCA Secretary’s XI recovered from 94/5 to reach 276, aided by a 93‑run sixth‑wicket stand.
  • Samit contributed with the ball as well, returning figures of 2/18 from nine overs in Goa’s 338.
  • The meeting drew nostalgic comparisons to 2003 in Bengaluru, when Sachin Tendulkar dismissed Rahul Dravid in the NKP Salve Challenger Trophy.
