The gritty fight against the odds to secure a draw in a Test match is one of cricket’s unique delights. Rachin Ravindra could experience the gratification of saving a Test on his debut, for New Zealand against India at Kanpur last November.
He came in at No. 8 and played out 91 balls for his 18 not out. The last-wicket stand, with Ajaz Patel, was unbroken after 8.4 overs.
