1st Test: Rachin’s Unbeaten 104 Power NZ To 345/7, Lead India By 299 Runs
Though New Zealand lost four wickets in the morning session, Ravindra, whose family hails from Bengaluru, got up the tempo through a breezy century filled with eye-catchy 11 fours and two sixes. After weathering the initial storm, Ravindra showcased his exceptional handling of Indian spinners by picking lengths early to play shots on front foot, back foot and down the ground, while using depth of crease well.
Tim Southee, who was not a certainty in New Zealand's eleven not so long ago, has supported Ravindra well by making 49 not out off 50 balls through an unbroken 112-run stand for the eighth wicket. In the last four overs of the session, the duo switched gears to take 58 runs to ensure New Zealand continue to have the upper hand in the match.
