Rachin Ravindra has been one of New Zealand’s most exciting prospects ever since he broke into the Test team. He is an all-rounder who can bat anywhere in the batting order and can bowl left-arm off-spin.

He made his debut in a T20I against Bangladesh in September 2021 and made his Test debut just a month later against India. In his Test debut, he showed his skill and endurance as his 18* (91) drew the match. After a long stint away from the New Zealand side, he finally made his comeback in the ODI side. Originally played in the lower middle order, injuries to key players ensured his meteoric rise in ODI. 

Originally not picked in the 2023 World Cup squad, an injury to Michael Bracewell got him called up. As Kane Williamson still battled with his injury, Ravindra was made to bat at number 3 and scored a century on his World Cup debut. As the tournament progressed, he opened with Devon Conway with Williamson returning to the side. In the 10 matches he played in the World Cup, he scored 578 with an average 64.22.
