The ODI World Cup 2023 has been the stage for cricketing excellence, showcasing the world’s top talents as they compete for glory. One name that has shone brightly in this tournament is Rachin Ravindra, the young Kiwi all-rounder. In match number 35 of the tournament, New Zealand faced Pakistan at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, and it was here that Ravindra etched his name in the history books.
New Zealand, after being put to bat by Pakistan, witnessed a spirited opening partnership. Both Kiwi openers, Devon Conway and Rachin Ravindra, started with a bang. Conway played aggressively, scoring 35 off 39 balls with 6 boundaries. His onslaught provided a solid foundation for New Zealand’s innings.
While Devon Conway’s fireworks were impressive, it was Rachin Ravindra who stole the show. Ravindra achieved a remarkable feat by scoring his third century in the World Cup, becoming the first player in the history of the tournament to do so in their debut campaign. His century against Pakistan in Bengaluru was a testament to his extraordinary talent. He eventually departed after scoring 108 runs from 94 balls.
Ravindra’s previous two centuries came against Australia, where he scored 116, and England, where he remained unbeaten with an astonishing 123 runs. His aggregate runs in the World Cup have crossed the 500-run mark, making him one of the tournament’s leading run-scorers. At this point, he sits second only to South Africa’s Quinton de Kock, who has 545 runs to his name.
