After having a stellar ICC ODI World Cup 2023, Rachin Ravindra had a great start to his Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 sojourn. In Match 1 of IPL 2024, Rachin Ravindra had a blistering innings of 37 runs and made sure the hosts have a good start.
After Chennai acquired Rachin Ravindra in the IPL 2024 auctions, there were a lot of eyeballs and attention on the youngster who is named after Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid.
Rachin Ravindra delivered the goods with perfection and made sure that CSK don’t miss the presence of Devon Conway to a large extent. Notably, Conway is set to miss around 6 weeks of cricketing action in the IPL because of an injury to his left thumb.
In this article, we take a look at 3 reasons why Rachin Ravindra can have a good season in the Indian Premier League 2024:
1. Rachin Ravindra is an aggressive batter
The young Kiwi batter is quite aggressive and has a buccaneering approach to his batting. He can smear the bowlers all across the park and can go all guns blazing from ball 1. We saw that in Match 1 of IPL 2024 as he blasted his way towards a power-packed knock of 37 runs in 15 balls.
If Rachin Ravindra can give solid starts to Chennai in the powerplay, then CSK would be extremely happy and grateful for his services.
2. He had a great ICC ODI World Cup 2023 sojourn
Rachin Ravindra’s confidence levels would be sky-high as he had a great ICC ODI World Cup 2023 sojourn. He scored 578 runs and finished as the leading run-getter of New Zealand in the entire World Cup.
As the marquee world event was played in India, the conditions would be similar and CSK would expect that the youngster can replicate his impressive form in the IPL too.
3. Can play spin and pace well
In India, the 10 different stadiums in 10 different cities have different wickets and pitches. As Rachin Ravindra can play spin and pace well, we can expect him to deliver the goods with his blazing blade in this sojourn.
He can not only play pace well but can also attack the spinners and put pressure back on the bowlers.
