New Zealand Youngster Rachin Ravindra Surpasses Sachin Tendulkar and Jonny Bairstow to Register Massive World Cup Records
The young star of the New Zealand cricket team, Rachin Ravindra, continues to shine in the Cricket World Cup 2023. New Zealand defeated Sri Lanka by five wickets in the ongoing mega tournament on Thursday and moved to the brink of the World Cup semi-finals. Ravindra also contributed to the victory for his team with a brilliant knock of 42. Chasing a modest target of 172 runs for victory, New Zealand rode on an opening stand between Devon Conway (45) and Ravindra to achieve the target with 160 balls to spare in Bengaluru. During the knockout, Ravindra registered two massive records for his game.
The New Zealand batting sensation has now become the only player to score most runs in a maiden World Cup edition, going past the record held by Jonny Bairstow from England of 532 runs.
Meanwhile, Ravindra has also become the player with the most runs in a single edition of the World Cup under the age of 25, surpassing the record of batting legend Sachin Tendulkar of 523 runs.
