Rachin Ravindra, the latest New Zealand sensation at the 2023 Cricket World Cup, is in great form. If India are to do well in the semi-final of the ODI Cricket World Cup 2023, then the hosts' bowlers will have to take his wicket right at the beginning. With 565 runs in nine innings, Rachin Ravindra is the third-highest scorer in the Cricket World Cup 2023. He has scored three centuries and and two half-centuries. His current average is 70.62.

When Indian cricket team gets down to action in the Cricket World Cup semi-final against New Zealand at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Wednesday, it is needless to say that Rachin Ravindra will be a top target.

Rachin Ravindra is an Indian origin player. His grandparents live in Bengaluru. He even visited them during the Cricket World Cup 2023. There is a popular story that the name 'Rachin' is a mix of names of Rahul Dravid and Sachin Tendulkar.

However, Rachin's father has now clarified that the given name was not intentional.

"When Rachin was born, my wife suggested the name, and we didn't spend a lot of time discussing it," said Ravi Krishnamurthy, Ravindra's father, to The Print.
