During the round-robin stage of the ODI World Cup 2023, Rachin Ravindra is currently leading the scoring charts among all the players in the quadrennial spectacle. The left-handed batter has scored 565 runs in nine innings at an average of 70.62 and a strike-rate 108.22, which includes three hundreds and two fifties, and he has picked up five wickets in the CWC 2023 for New Zealand too.
The viral video of Rachin Ravindra had his grandmother perform the traditional Hindu ritual for the health and prosperity of the all-round cricketer in times to come. During one specific moment, both Ravindra and his grandmother had a chuckle about Lord Krishna, who she called her close relative.

A few weeks ago, during a press conference in the ODI World Cup 2023, Rachin Ravindra spoke about his Indian roots to the media and said, “Oh, well, I think, I've been asked this question a lot, but I guess I'm 100% Kiwi and I'm very proud of my Indian heritage. But I guess it's proud to be able to do it in the country where my parents were born and where they grew up and where a lot of my family is.”
