After crushing Pakistan in the inaugural match with Pakistan in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, New Zealand registered a smashing victory against Bangladesh in their second game. Rachin Ravindra scored a brilliant century against the Men in Green, helping the Blackcaps achieve the below-par total of 236 with 23 balls spare. With this century, the 25-year-old batter scripted history as he broke several ODI records and even shattered Sachin Tendulkar’s 27-year-old world record.
Smashing his fourth ton in the ICC events, including the World Cup and Champions Trophy, Rachin has become the youngest player with the most centuries in ICC ODI tournaments. At the age of 25, Sachin scored three centuries in the ICC ODI events and held the record since 1998. On the other hand, Rachin achieved this milestone and surpassed the ‘Master Blaster’ record in just 11 innings.
Not only this, Rachin Ravindra is also now New Zealand’s highest centuries scorer in ICC events. Before this, he was equalling the record with Kane Williamson and Nathan Astle. Being just 25 years old, Rachin is set to hold this record for a long time looking at his current form.
