In a stunning display of skill and heartwarming tradition, Rachin Ravindra, the 23-year-old cricket sensation from New Zealand, has captivated the cricketing world with his exceptional performance in the ongoing ICC World Cup 2023. Born in Wellington, New Zealand, to Indian parents, Ravindra's name pays homage to two of India's cricketing legends, Rahul Dravid and Sachin Tendulkar.

Following a remarkable victory against Sri Lanka, Ravindra took a heart-touching detour to his grandparents' home in Bengaluru. A video capturing a beautiful ritual between him and his grandmother, aimed at warding off negativity, quickly became a viral sensation, endearing him further to fans across the globe.

This intimate moment, a cherished tradition in India performed with children to protect them from ill omens, was shared on social media, sparking a wave of adoration.

Amid the flurry of comments, the consensus was clear—Ravindra is fortunate to have such a remarkable family.

Ravindra's cricketing journey commenced at the tender age of five in Wellington, with yearly visits to Bangalore to play club cricket. In this year's World Cup, the young talent has emerged as the top run-scorer, notching up an impressive 565 runs in 9 innings, including three centuries and two fifties. His highest score, an unbeaten 123, stands as a testament to his exceptional skill, especially for a newcomer in the World Cup arena.
