First player to hit century in his debut world cup and champions trophy match

Rachin Ravindra showed one more time how special talent he has. His batting maturity, technique and fearless approach make him a player of a different level. Whatever he did in his World Cup debut, he displayed the same in the Champions Trophy as well, and that too when the team was under pressure. This is not just the mark of a talented batsman but the identity of a match-winner.

Against Bangladesh also, when the early wickets fell, his calmness and controlled aggression was worth watching. The company of Tom Latham was also very important, but Rachin was the anchor of the innings. His Indian background is another interesting angle to his game, and his father’s name being inspired by Sachin-Dravid also shows that cricket is in his blood.

The New Zealand team is in tremendous form right now, and has reached the semi-finals. The match on 2nd March may be a dead rubber, but both India and NZ would want to build momentum. With players like Rachin Ravindra, NZ cannot be underestimated. And one thing is for sure—this boy is going to break more records
