Former Indian cricketer and coach, Ravi Shastri, had high praise for the New Zealand team's coaching staff for promoting all-rounder Rachin Ravindra up the order in the ODI World Cup 2023 opener against England. The Mumbai native was commentating in the second innings as Ravindra reached his half-century in 36 balls.

Before the batting heroics, Rachin Ravindra also starred with the ball as he picked up one wicket while giving away 76 runs. Coming back to the one-time Indian captain, Shastri also compared this move to India promoting stars like Sachin Tendulkar and Rohit Sharma up the order.
Ravi Shastri said, "This could be a masterstroke by New Zealand sending Rachin Ravindra at the Top Order just like India did with Sachin Tendulkar and Rohit Sharma".
