New Zealand are closing on securing the semifinal berth in the ICC World Cup 2023 as they bowled out Sri Lanka on 171 runs in a crucial game on Thursday, November 9. With one game in hand, the Kiwis pulled off a brilliant bowling display at Pune’s MCA Stadium and then batters provided a flying start. 

Chasing an easy target, Rachin Ravindra scripted history on his first run. He broke Indian legend and his idol Sachin Tendulkar’s record for most runs in the ODI World Cup edition before turning 25 of age. Ravindra has scored 565 runs in the ongoing tournament while Sachin Tendulkar made an impact during the 1996 World Cup by scoring 523 runs.

  1. Rachin Ravindra (New Zealand) – 565 runs in 2023

  2. Sachin Tendulkar (India) – 523 runs in 1996

  3. Babar Azam (Pakistan) – 474 runs in 2019

Rachin Ravindra, 23, also claimed another milestone after scoring seven runs today. He surpassed England’s Jonny Bairstow’s record for most runs in the ODI World Cup edition and set new standards.
