Nz vs Aus Live Score: ‘Want to be a multi-faceted, versatile cricketer’, says NZ’s Rachin Ravindra
Ahead of the second T20I against Australia, New Zealand’s rising sensation Rachin Ravindra said on Thursday that he is not only aiming to play the ICC T20 World Cup for the Kiwis, but also in becoming a “multi-faceted versatile cricketer”.
Rachin has had really nice last five-six months or so, making an impact during the ICC Cricket World Cup in India with 578 runs in 10 innings, including three tons and two fifties. After some exposure to Test cricket, he finally played a breakthrough knock of 240 against South Africa in the first Test recently and now against Australia in the first T20I, he scored his first T20I fifty, 68 in 35 balls, with two fours and six sixes.
Now having made some strong performances in all formats of the game and after earning an Indian Premier League (IPL) deal of ₹1.8 crores with five-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK), Ravindra has his eyes set on not only the T20 WC, but also proving his versatility. Ravindra wants to take each game as a learning experience and help the team win and has left selection in the hands of selectors.
“Not even just looking at the T20 World Cup, being a multi-faceted versatile cricketer is what I want to be. A genuine allrounder who can help the team in different ways and affect the game in different ways. That [selection] will all take care of itself; I am not too worried about that sort of stuff,” said Ravindra as quoted by ESPNCricinfo.
“If I can take each game as a learning experience and drive the team forward, that is what matters to me. If that cumulates in selection, then great. If it does not, that is okay. I have got a lot of time ahead of me,” he added.

New Zealand vs Australia Live Score: ‘Definitely in the thoughts…’: Australian coach on Smith’s role in T20 WC
New Zealand vs Australia Live Score: Australia coach Andrew McDonald confirmed on Thursday that star batter Steve Smith is still in contention for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024. Before the start of the ongoing T20I series against New Zealand, Australia’s T20I skipper Mitchell Marsh outlined his team’s composition, confirming that the top order was fairly settled, with David Warner, Travis Head, and him occupying the first three positions.
“I have batted (at) three for the last 18 months, so I will be there to start with. And obviously Heady (Travis Head) and Davey Warner have been amazing for us over the last period of time, so I daresay that will be the top three,” Marsh said on the eve of the series opener as quoted by ICC.
This along with the fact that Australia have a packed middle-order featuring options like Glenn Maxwell, Josh Inglis, Matt Short, and Tim David, raises questions about Smith’s position in the T20 World Cup lineup.
