‘I got to catch up with both sides of my family……’ – Rachin Ravindra opens up on family emotions after his stellar performances in ODI World Cup 2023

New Zealand star cricketer Rachin Ravindra has revealed about his family emotions after his stellar performances in the ODI World Cup 2023. Notably, the top-order batter got the nod owing to Kane Williamson’s injury, which he impressively utilized. The star cricketer has finished in the third spot for scoring the most runs in the tournament. In addition, the left-handed batter has amassed 578 runs from the 10 innings in the showpiece event.

The 24-year-old cricketer revealed that his father and mother were extremely emotional and happy after his great performance in the event at such a young age. In addition, the great batter feels like he belongs in another country, thanks to the fans who showed love for him during the whole event.

However, Rachin Ravindra feels doubtful about franchises offering him at the IPL 2024 auction. Notably, the southpaw is currently focusing on what lies ahead, as he feels IPL has a lot of time to get started. The batting all-rounder feels very grateful when he plays for his country, New Zealand.

Every moment I get to play for New Zealand, I am very, very grateful: Rachin Ravindra

“Like everyone close to me, he was very happy, very proud. Dad seems to keep it very level. He keeps his cards close to his chest. Mum was very happy. You can feel the love and support from everyone. I would read it at the end of the game. I got to catch up with both sides of my family. It was a little feeling of home in a different country. I get to see them when I do go to India,” Rachin Ravindra said on ESPNCricinfo.

“There’s so much time to the IPL. There’s no guarantee that I will get picked up (in the auction). There are no guarantees in life and cricket. I am just focused on what’s in front of me: the Bangladesh Test series. You stay in the present, you savour those moments. Every moment I get to play for New Zealand, I am very, very grateful,” he added further.
