New Delhi. Only 3 days are left for the mini auction for IPL (IPL 2024). On December 19, all the teams will bet on great players to strengthen their camp. There will be bidding on 333 players in the auction, including one player for whom there may be a tough fight between the franchises. Just 24 years old, this player scored a lot of runs by hitting a four on the spot in his very first World Cup. But the T20 record of this all-rounder player is nothing special.
We are talking about New Zealand’s young star Rachin Ravindra, who surprised everyone with his batting in the World Cup. Even before the World Cup, Ravindra proved to be a juggernaut in batting. But before the mega event, he had also attracted everyone’s attention with his bowling. In the World Cup, Rachin Ravindra scored 578 runs in 10 matches and registered his name among the top-5 batsmen who scored the most runs in the tournament. He registered many records in his name by hitting 3 centuries and 2 fifties. Ravindra’s batting as an opening batsman is being discussed everywhere. He has also given his name for the 17th season of IPL. But till now he has not been successful in showing his ODI style in T20 format.
Played 18 T20 matches so far
Rachin Ravindra has played 18 T20 matches so far. But he has not scored even a single fifty. Talking about batting, he has scored only 145 runs in these matches in which his highest score has been 45. Apart from this, he took 11 wickets in bowling. Now it has to be seen which team will bet on him considering these figures. The base price of Rachin Ravindra for IPL 2024 is Rs 50 lakh.
Rachin Ravindra’s stature has increased a lot after the ODI World Cup. In such a situation, there would be no hesitation in saying that teams can spend a huge amount on him. Rachin was not initially a part of the World Cup squad but was included in the squad in place of Michael Bracewell.
