New Zealand’s explosive batter Rachin Ravindra has been in sublime form as he notched up his second hundred in the ongoing World Cup 2023 against Australia in Dharamsala on Saturday. On the back of this knock, Rachin also joined Glenn Turner, Martin Guptill, and Kane Williamson as the fourth New Zealand batsman to collect two hundreds in a World Cup. The left-hand batter made a brilliant debut in the mega event in the game against England in Ahmedabad where he scored a century, contributing to New Zealand's nine-wicket win. He was also handed over the Player of the Match award after he ended up scoring 123 runs and also took a wicket.

Just after scoring a hundred, he went on to hit a fifty against the Netherlands at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. He also smashed a fifty in a crucial game against India in Dharamshala.
