Once again, it's Tendulkar vs. Dravid on the cricket field. And this time, Tendulkar emerges victorious. Recently, Arjun Tendulkar and Samit Dravid participated in a memorial tournament in Alur, Kerala. One, the son of Sachin Tendulkar, and the other, of Rahul Dravid. It was there that Arjun dismissed Samit, evoking an image from 2004.

In the 2003-04 season, Sachin was playing for India A in the MKP Salve Challengers Trophy, while Dravid represented India B. in that match, Sachin had bowled out Rahul Dravid. Of course, barring the IPL, the two stars hadn't faced each other since. Consequently, no images of such dismissals had been witnessed. This time, however, the star kids faced off, and once again, a Tendulkar's delivery claimed a Dravid's wicket.

In the match, the Goa Cricket Association batted first, posting a formidable 338 runs. Lalit Yadav played a stellar innings of 113 runs, followed by Abhinav Taneja's contribution of 88 runs. Sachin Tendulkar's son, Arjun, managed a modest nine runs. Chasing the target, Samit Dravid's Karnataka State Cricket Association XI plummeted from 53 for one to 94 for five. Arjun Tendulkar claimed three wickets, including that of Samit Dravid, who could only muster nine runs.

The image of this dismissal has stirred emotions among supporters. Many netizens claim that the juniors are carrying forward the legacy established by their seniors, a poignant reflection of cricket's generational torch-passing.
