'Less Of Ra, More Of Chin': Rahul Dravid Jokes On Himself While Praising NZ Star Rachin Ravindra

Rachin Ravindra took the opening day of the ODI Cricket World Cup 2023 by storm as the New Zealand youngster slammed his maiden century against defending champions England. The ton guided his team to a sensational win in Ahmedabad on Thursday. The 23-year-old was sent to bat at No.3 in the absence of Kane Williamson and he went on to score an unbeaten 123 off just 93 deliveries. The partnership with Devon Conway meant that England had no chance of a fightback in the game and New Zealand started their Cricket World Cup campaign on a thumping note. While Ravindra's parents both hail from India, his name actually comes from two Indian cricket team batting legends – Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid.

New Zealand batsman Rachin Ravindra on Thursday said hitting a match-winning century in the World Cup opener was inspired by watching footage of India cricket icons Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid after whom he is named. With a first name made up of 'Ra' for Rahul and 'chin' from Sachin, due to his father's love of the game, Ravindra lived up to his name in spectacular style. He smashed 123 in an unbeaten stand of 273 with Devon Conway as New Zealand cruised to a nine-wicket victory against defending champions England in Ahmedabad.
