Rachin Ravindra’s most extraordinary feat came against the Australian team, where he played with confidence and aggression.

His incredible innings included 7 fours and 5 sixes, leaving the Australian bowlers in a tough spot.
In the 41st over, Australian skipper Pat Cummins finally dismissed Rachin Ravindra, but not before he had notched up 116 runs from 89 balls, with 9 fours and 5 sixes. With this stunning century, Rachin Ravindra joined an elite club, equaling Sachin Tendulkar’s record for the most World Cup centuries at the age of 23, a remarkable achievement.

The match had begun with New Zealand winning the toss and opting to bowl first, a decision that ultimately backfired. Australian opener Travis Head, returning to the playing XI after an injury layoff, set the stage on fire by scoring a magnificent century. He formed a formidable 175-run partnership in just 117 balls with veteran opener David Warner, who also batted brilliantly, falling just short of a century. In the end, Glenn Maxwell (41) and Pat Cummins (37) played brutal innings, propelling Australia to an imposing total of 388.
Rachin Ravindra’s extraordinary century, along with his consistently strong performances, has firmly established him as one of the most promising young talents in world cricket, and fans eagerly await his future exploits on the international stage.

Rachin’s teammates are struggling to rotate strike while Rachin is single-handedly keeping up with an RRR of 9, playing belligerent big shots, finding 1s and 2s.
What a talent. Rahul and Sachin should be proud that this bloke is named after them.
