SaltWire's Atlantic regional weather forecast for October 5, 2023 | SaltWireAHMEDABAD, India - It is not easy living up to your name, especially when it is inspired by two greats of the game. New Zealand all-rounder Rachin Ravindra achieved that difficult feat with his dream World Cup debut against England on Thursday.

Ravindra forged a brilliant 273-run second-wicket stand with Devon Conway, who smashed an unbeaten 152 as New Zealand romped to a 283-run victory target with 13.4 overs to spare. "A hundred's always special.

Ravindra had his revenge, however, when Brook mistimed a pull off the final delivery of the over and holed out to Conway on the boundary.Groomed primarily as a middle-order batter, who is also a handy part-time spinner, this was the first time in 13 ODI appearances that Ravindra batted in the top order.
