Despite New Zealand’s exit from the World Cup after a loss to India in the semi-finals, Rachin Ravindra’s prowess on the field captured attention. His opportunity in the team, owing to Kane Williamson’s injury, was well-utilized, impressing cricket enthusiasts and team scouts alike.
Throughout the tournament, Rachin participated in 10 matches, showcasing his skill by amassing 578 runs with an impressive strike rate of 106.45. His remarkable performance also set a record, establishing him as the leading run-scorer for New Zealand in a single edition of the ODI World Cup, a testament to his burgeoning talent.
