Young New Zealand batter Rachin Ravindra is having a dream World Cup, knocking over run-scoring records in his debut at the showpiece ODI tournament. It's, therefore, not a surprise to see the batter of Indian-origin sitting through a ritual being performed by an elder to safeguard him from evil eye, commonly called 'nazar utarna' in Hindi, when he visited his ancesteral home in Bengaluru.
Rachin was in the city with the New Zealand team for its World Cup match against Sri Lanka on Thursday, and the 23-year-old visited his family, who performed the ritual and the video has gone viral. It couldn't be confirmed if the elderly lady performing the ritual is Rachin's grandmother.
