The father of rising New Zealand cricketer Rachin Ravindra has denied naming his son after Indian players Rahul Dravid and Sachin Tendulkar.
Rachin Ravindra has been the backbone of the Kiwi team’s batting line during the ongoing World Cup in India.
He has scored a total of 565 runs in the World Cup so far, scoring 3 centuries and two fifties and played a key role in leading his team to the semi-finals.
New Zealand will face New Zealand in the semi-final on October 15. The Kiwi batsmen of Indian origin can also be the biggest threat to the home team.
Rachin Ravindra has been in the news not only for his performances on the ground but also because of his parents’ connection to India and his name.
There were speculations about the Kiwi batsman’s name that Rachan’s parents had derived his name from two famous Indian batsmen, Rahul Dravid and Sachin Tendulkar.
However, according to the Indian media report, Ravi Krishnamurthy, father of Rachan Ravindra, has denied all these speculations and said that Indian players have nothing to do with the name of his son.
Ravi Krishnamurthy said that the wife liked this name and we did not think much about the name and settled on it, this name is also simple.
Continuing his talk, he said that we also realized after a long time that the letters in the son’s name are part of the names of two Indian players.
