NEW DELHI: One of the shining lights of the just concluded ICC ODI World Cup in India was New Zealand's newest batting sensation Rachin Ravindra. The left-handed batter of Indian origin etched his name in the history book, accumulating the most runs in a World Cup by a debutant. It was one of the many records the 24-year-old set in the mega event.
Ravindra scored a staggering 578 runs in 10 games at an average of 64.22, which included three centuries and two half-centuries. He finished as New Zealand's leading run-getter and fourth overall in the tournament. He also claimed five crucial wickets for the Kiwis with his left-arm spin.
