Dravid, Tendulkar And Indian Connection: Rachin Ravindra Opens Up
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.
