Men’s ODI WC: Rachin Ravindra Becomes First New Zealand Batter To Score Three Hundreds In The Tournament
Cricket World Cup: Rachin Ravindra has become the first New Zealand batter to hit three centuries in an edition of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup when he reached the three-figure mark in the league stage match against Pakistan here at M Chinnaswamy Stadium, on Saturday.
Ravindra, 23, took a single off Pakistan fast-bowler Mohammad Wasim Jr. in the 34th over to complete his third century of this World Cup, after previously making a hundred against England (on World Cup debut) and Australia. He eventually made 108 off 94 balls, hitting 15 fours and a six at a strike-rate of 114.89.
The left-handed batter has gone past the previous New Zealand record held by Kane Williamson (2019), Martin Guptill (2015) and Glenn Turner (1975), all of whom had two centuries in an edition of the World Cups. Ravindra is the first batter to score three hundreds in a player’s debut edition of a World Cup in the tournament’s 48-year-old history.
