4 out of 4: Rachin Ravindra only scores in ICC tournaments

New Zealand's Rachin Ravindra returned to action after a freak on-field accident with a match-winning century that booked his side's passage to the semi-finals of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

Ravindra hit 112 as New Zealand marched into the semis, taking India along with them, after his team's win over Bangladesh in Rawalpindi.

Ravindra's latest knock re-affirmed his love for ICC events - he struck a ton on his ODI World Cup debut in 2023 and added another later in the tournament against Pakistan.

This was Ravindra's fourth ODI ton and all of them came in ICC events.

Rachin Ravindra's ICC ODI Century Record

Rachin Ravindra has made history as the first player to score centuries on his debut in the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup and ICC Champions Trophy. 

It is Rachin Ravindra who has the distinction of making four centuries in just 11 ICC ODI innings. 

This extraordinary achievement also involved two hundreds in his World Cup and Champions Trophy appearances, which shows how good he has been in big tournaments.

Here are the details of every ODI ton Ravindra scored in ICC events.

1. 123* vs England | ODI Cricket World Cup 2023

The incredible ride started for Ravindra, at the 2023 Cricket World Cup opener match with England. 

At 23, he scored an unbeaten 123 runs off 96 balls, his first ODI century. 

This achievement not only displayed his batting ability but also set records: it was the fastest century by a New Zealand batsman in World Cup history, done in just 82 balls. 

His stand with Devon Conway was fourth highest in World Cup history, a 273 partnership that helped New Zealand to a comprehensive win over the defending champions. 

2. 116 vs Australia | ODI Cricket World Cup 2023

Rachin Ravindra has been a breakout star for his team in the ODI World Cup 2023 and he once again made an impact with a century against Australia at Dharamshala, though in a losing cause. 

Ravindra's explosive century went in vain as New Zealand could not chase 389 runs set by Australia, losing by just five runs in a nail-biter. 

Ravindra smashed 116 in 89 balls. His knock consisted of nine fours and five sixes and he struck at a strike rate of over 130. 

His century came in just 77 balls, which is the fastest century by a Kiwi in the tournament's history. 

Ravindra also broke his own record of 82-ball century against England in the tournament opener.

3. 108 vs Pakistan | ODI Cricket World Cup 2023

Ravindra became the first New Zealand batter to hit three World Cup hundreds. He also scored centuries against England and Australia.

The left-hander also crossed the 500-run mark at this World Cup during his swashbuckling innings. He became only the third Kiwi batter after Martin Guptill and Kane Williamson to score 500 runs in a single World Cup edition.

Ravindra got to his fifty in 51 balls. He went berserk after his fifty and got to his three-digit mark in only 37 more balls.

Clobbering 15 boundaries and a solitary six, Ravindra scored 108 runs off 94 balls before getting holed out on the deep square leg boundary off Mohammad Wasim's bowling in the 36th over.

4. 112 vs Bangladesh | Champions Trophy 2025

On February 24, 2025, in the ICC Champions Trophy in Rawalpindi, Ravindra sustained his fine form against Bangladesh.

Coming in with New Zealand facing a testing situation at 15 for 2 while pursuing 237, he displayed calmness and class. 

Batting for the first time in his ODI career at No. 4, Ravindra made a masterful century from 95 deliveries, with 11 fours and a six. 

His vital stand with captain Tom Latham stabilized the innings and saw New Zealand home to a winning chase.
