Rachin Ravindra is a rising star in New Zealand cricket, recognized for his considerable potential in white-ball formats. While he has made notable strides in ODIs, his T20I statistics reveal interesting insights, especially heading into the upcoming match against India.
Rachin Ravindra’s T20I Statistical Overview
Ravindra has participated in 34 T20I innings for New Zealand, accumulating a total of 549 runs. His performance can be summarized as follows:
- Total Innings: 34
- Total Runs: 549
- Batting Average: 20.33
- Half-Centuries: 3
Despite these achievements, Ravindra’s overall T20I average reflects room for improvement. His past encounter against India in 2021 saw him score just 7 runs off 8 balls, which raises questions about his current form leading into the match.
Ravindra’s ODI Performance Against India
Looking beyond T20Is, Rachin has a more promising record in ODIs against India. In 4 innings, he scored 131 runs with an average of 32.75, including one half-century. This suggests that while his T20I numbers may not be as strong, he has had more success in the 50-over format.
