New Zealand all-rounder Rachin Ravindra’s tryst with global limited-overs tournaments has received another glorious chapter. Opening the batting in the ongoing second semi-final of ICC Champions Trophy 2025 against South Africa in Lahore, Ravindra scored 108 (101) with the help of 13 fours and a six.

A 154-ball 164-run second-wicket partnership alongside former captain Kane Williamson (102) laid the foundation for the team scoring 362/6 in 50 overs after captain Mitchell Santner (2*) won the toss and chose to bat.

Having played 18 out of his 28 ODI innings in Asia, Ravindra has a fantastic record in a continent where overseas batters tend to struggle especially in their formative years. Ravindra, on the other hand, has scored 876 runs including as many as five hundreds. Below are more such numbers around him:
