New Zealand all-rounder Rachin Ravindra scored a hundred on his Champions Trophy debut against Bangladesh on Monday, February 24, in Rawalpindi. As the Black Caps chased 237 for a win to seal their semifinal spot, Ravindra played a key knock after they lost a few early wickets. He scored 112 runs off just 105 balls, hitting 12 fours and a six at a strike-rate of 106.67.
Rachin Ravindra also became the first player to score a century on his ODI World Cup as well as Champions Trophy debut. He scored a hundred on his World Cup debut in 2023 against England in Ahmedabad, India.
The left-hander also surpassed Kane Williamson to score the most centuries (four) for New Zealand in ICC events. On that note, let us look at the five fastest men to reach four centuries in ICC ODI events.
