 "Rachin becomes 6th Kiwi batter to hit a century in Champions Trophy")
The young Kiwi batter, Rachin Ravindra, once again proved why he is rated so highly among critics as he scored a brilliant century against Bangladesh on Monday, becoming the sixth batter from New Zealand to score a century in the ICC Champions Trophy. This is also the third century for the Kiwis in the 2025 edition, as before him, Tom Latham and Will Young also scored centuries against Pakistan in the tournament opener.

Chris Cairns, Nathan Astle, and Kane Williamson are the other three Kiwi batters to have 100-plus scoring innings under their belt in the Champions Trophy. Rachin came out to bat when New Zealand was reeling on 15 for 2 in 237 chase and took 95 ball to bring up his three digit mark to keep New Zealand alive in the match. He went on to make 112 runs in 105 balls with the help of 12 fours and a six. His 129 runs partnership with Tom Latham (55) helped New Zealand win the match by five wickets.
