Arjun Tendulkar
As the name suggests, he is the son of legendary Indian Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar. The 22-year-old pacer's start to professional cricket has been slow. He has yet to make his debut ultimately in domestic cricket, especially List-A, First-Class (FC) and the Indian Premier League (IPL). However, given his determination, the day is not far when Arjun finally gets the nod for international cricket. Nonetheless, Tendulkar won't push for his debut and wants him to do it in his capacity, which would make him prouder.

Arman Jaffer
Ok, first, we believe his name gives you a hint that he might be the son of legendary former Indian opener, Wasim Jaffer. However, that's not the case. Instead, he is the son of former Indian cricketer Kaleem Jaffer, while Wasim happens to be his uncle. Arman has been sensational for Mumbai, especially in the ongoing Ranji Trophy, steering the side into the final. Whether Mumbai is winning or losing the prize, Arman has proved that he has what it takes to go all the way and play for India.

Samit Dravid
Yes, you guessed it right this time. He is the son of legendary former Indian skipper Rahul Dravid. Firstly, he is extremely young. So, putting too much pressure on him would not be fair. However, he has displayed great potential, having already slammed a couple of double centuries at the school level, while, unlike his father, he is known to be an explosive batter. Also, he happens to be a decent bowler, and it would be interesting to see if he transpires himself into a pure all-rounder and grace international cricket in the future.

Aryan Bangar
Yes, you have guessed this right too; the son of Sanjay Bangar. He was in the past seen interacting with then-Team India bowling coach Bharat Arun and getting some valuable tips. Playing for Puducherry in the U-19 circuit, he slammed 300 runs in just five matches of the Cooch Behar Trophy 2020, including a 150, besides scalping 20 wickets. He has also undergone a junior stint with Leicestershire, and it is only a matter of time before he transpires into a great all-rounder and makes his way into the national side.
