Rachin Ravindra comments about the Indian supporters screaming his name during the 2023 ODI World Cup, saying, “It’s a pretty surreal feeling.”

Rachin Ravindra, a young player from New Zealand, is well-known at the current ODI World Cup. With 565 runs in nine innings, Ravindra, who is only 23 years old, is the tournament’s highest run scorer. As the competition’s breakthrough star, it appears that the young artist has also captured the hearts of Indian viewers.

At the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore during New Zealand’s 41st match against Sri Lanka, the crowd was chanting Rachin Ravindra’s name as he stepped out to bat during the run chase. It’s important to remember that Ravindra’s family originally lived in Bangalore before relocating to New Zealand, so the 23-year-old has experienced a great deal of love from his community.

Speaking about the same topic, Ravindra came up to say that he is appreciative of all the support he has received from Indian fans during the World Cup 2023 and that the affection they have shown him has been unbelievable.

“It feels a little strange, but I appreciate the encouragement, especially since I got to play in Bangalore. I shall always be grateful for the audience’s chant of my name. As a child, I used to dream of it. Fortunately, everything worked out, so I’m really delighted to be here, Rachin Ravindra said to Star Sports.

I’ve always looked up to Kane Williamson: Rachin Ravindra

It is important to consider that Ravindra nearly did not make the team for the competition despite scoring the most runs with three hundreds in the ODI World Cup 2023. Following a prolonged recovery period following his knee injury, captain Kane Williamson (age 23) was added to the starting lineup.

“I wasn’t even in the frame six or twelve months ago. It’s quite humorous. I’ve always admired Kane. I have a number of idols, including Joe Root, Steven Smith, and Virat Kohli. However, Ravindra remarked, “Kane’s leadership, both on and off the field, just keeps things calm.”
