6 New Zealand cricketers with an Indian connection

#6 Jeet Raval

Jeet Raval is yet to make his international debut

Left-handed batsman Jeet Raval was born in Gujarat, India but has played all his professional cricket in New Zealand. Raval is a prolific run-scorer in First-class cricket and has been given the nickname ‘Rahul Dravid of Auckland’ due to his batting exploits.

Based on his stellar First-class performances, the southpaw was picked in the Kiwi squad for the tours of Zimbabwe and South Africa earlier this year. However, he did not get a game against either opposition and was dropped from the squad for the tour to India.

Jeet Raval will be hoping to earn another call-up to the New Zealand side so that he can prove his mettle in the international arena.
