Several Indian-origin players, including Ish Sodhi, Jeet Raval and Jeetan Patel, have represented the New Zealand men’s national cricket team over the years. On Wednesday, during the first T20I match between India and New Zealand, another Indian-origin player – Rachin Ravindra – took the field against the Men in Blue in Jaipur. Ravindra, however, failed to work any miracles with the bat as he was dismissed for an individual score of 7 by ace Indian seamer Mohammad Siraj. Despite his failure with the bat, Ravindra caught the attention of the country’s cricket lovers because of his name. Ravindra’s first Rachin is a depiction of two Indian batsmen, Rahul Dravid and Sachin Tendulkar.
