Rachin Ravindra dazzled in the Test against India, scoring a century. But that's not all; his off-field charms, including his girlfriend, also caught attention!

Rachin Ravindra has made headlines as he became the first New Zealand batter since 2012 to slam a Test century against India, with a stunning score of 104 during the first Test in Bengaluru. This remarkable feat not only marks a significant return for Kiwis in test cricket but also ends a twelve-year drought since Ross Taylor's last century on Indian soil. Ravindra's performance on Day 3 was a game-changer, leading New Zealand to a commanding score of 345 for 7 at lunch, and putting immense pressure on the Indian team, who had previously skittled to a mere 46 runs.

The innings of Ravindra didn’t just impress cricket fans, it also turned heads among cricket legends. Sunil Gavaskar and Sanjay Manjrekar were left bowled over (pun intended) by the all-rounder's extraordinary skills. His stunning strike was particularly special as it was executed in the same venue where his father once called home, adding a layer of personal history to this historical sporting moment. Not to mention, he partnered with Tim Southee, further cementing their lead as the game slipped further away from the grasp of the Indian side.

As if performances on the pitch weren’t enough, Rachin’s off-field life has also garnered interest. Meet Premila Morar, his girlfriend, who has been a subject of curiosity among fans and media alike. As Ravindra steals the spotlight on the cricket field, his relationship with Morar adds a cherry on top, making him not just a star player, but also a heartthrob on and off the field. Pictures of the couple have been circulating, showcasing some of their playful moments together, which just makes us root for them even more!

Rachin Ravindra's journey has truly been inspiring, showcasing that talent runs in the family, along with love and support from loved ones. It’s a reminder that behind every successful athlete often lies a unique story that intertwines personal milestones with professional achievements, proving that cricket is indeed a game of passion. This match won't just be remembered for Ravindra's outstanding century but will also resonate through the tales of new love and shared victories on the field.

Fun Fact: Did you know that Rachin Ravindra is also an accomplished musician? Although his cricket skills shine brightly, he plays the guitar on the side, adding a dash of charm to his personality. Another interesting fact is that New Zealand's drought of Test centuries in India had spanned 12 long years, making Ravindra’s achievement all the more exciting for Kiwi fans!

Rachin has also been compared to his idol, legendary cricketer Kane Williamson, not only for his batting prowess but also for his calm demeanor under pressure, a trait that Kiwi cricketers are celebrated for. His dual identity as a cricketer and a partner in love is a reminder that sports celebrities are just like us—balancing personal and professional lives, while making history one game at a time!
