Rachin Ravindra: New Zealand Star With A Story Behind His Name
Rachin Ravindra is a rising star of New Zealand cricket. He is a talented all-rounder who can bat and bowl at a high level. But there is more to Rachin than meets the eye. He has a unique story behind his name.
Rachin was born to Indian parents in Wellington, New Zealand. His father, Ravi Krishnamurthy, is a software architect who played club cricket in Bangalore before moving to New Zealand. Rachin’s mother, Deepa Krishnamurthy, is a teacher.
Rachin’s name is a combination of the names of two of India’s greatest cricketers: Rahul Dravid and Sachin Tendulkar. Rachin’s parents were huge fans of both players, and they wanted to name their son after them as a tribute.
Rachin has lived up to his name. He has made a strong impression on the cricket world at a young age. Ravindra made an impressive century in the opening match of the 2023 Cricket World Cup against England. He scored 123 runs off just 96 balls, and helped New Zealand to a comfortable nine-wicket victory.
