Rachin Ravindra stats: age, Test, ODI, T20I and IPL record
All five of Rachin Ravindra’s ODI hundreds came at ICC events, and his Test average is past 52 since he moved up to No. 4. His record by format, at the two India Test venues and in the IPL.
Nov 11, 2026
Rachin Ravindra stats split neatly in two. In Tests he has turned into one of New Zealand’s most reliable batters since moving up to No. 4 in 2024. In ODIs every one of his five hundreds has come at an ICC tournament, and outside them his best is 79. He has not played since dislocating his right shoulder in September, and New Zealand have still named him for the two Tests against India, the first of which starts at the Basin Reserve on 19 November, the day after his 27th birthday.
Below are his figures in every format, every international hundred, the two splits, his record at the two Test grounds of the series and against India, and his IPL seasons. All figures are from ESPNcricinfo’s Statsguru, correct to 11 November 2026.
Rachin Ravindra: quick facts
| Detail | Rachin Ravindra |
|---|---|
| Born | 18 November 1999, Wellington, New Zealand |
| Age | 26 (27 on 18 November 2026) |
| Name | Blends Rahul and Sachin; his father says it was not deliberate |
| Family | Parents from Bengaluru |
| Bats | Left-handed |
| Bowls | Slow left-arm orthodox |

| ODI debut | v Sri Lanka, Auckland, 25 Mar 2023 |
| IPL | Chennai Super Kings 2024-25, Kolkata Knight Riders 2026 |
Ravindra was born in Wellington to parents from Bengaluru, and his first name joins the start of Rahul and the end of Sachin. His father moved from Bengaluru to New Zealand in the 1990s and has said the blend was not deliberate: the couple liked the name and only later noticed it. It still gave the 2024 Test at the Chinnaswamy a story before a ball was bowled, and Ravindra then made 134 there.
Rachin Ravindra stats in every format
| Format | Mat | Runs | HS | Ave | SR | 100s | 50s | Wkts | Best | Bowl ave |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tests | 24 | 1,865 | 240 | 47.82 | 64.29 | 5 | 7 | 11 | 3/33 | 47.91 |
| ODIs | 39 | 1,424 | 123* | 41.88 | 107.55 | 5 | 6 | 21 | 4/60 | 45.29 |
| T20Is | 52 | 759 | 69 | 20.51 | 135.29 | 0 | 4 | 26 | 4/27 | 17.46 |
| IPL | 18 | 413 | 65* | 24.29 | 143.90 | 0 | 2 | 0 | – | – |
That is 4,048 international runs in 115 matches. The T20I numbers are the weak spot with the bat, an average of 20.51 and no hundred, but they are also where his bowling counts most: 26 wickets at 17.46, including 4/27 against Sri Lanka in Colombo at the 2026 T20 World Cup.
Rachin Ravindra Test hundreds
| Score | Balls | Opponent | Ground | Date | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 240 | 366 | South Africa | Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui | 4 Feb 2024 | His first Test hundred, NZ’s highest maiden hundred |
| 134 | 157 | India | Chinnaswamy, Bengaluru | 16 Oct 2024 | Player of the match, NZ won by 8 wickets |
| 165* | 139 | Zimbabwe | Queens Sports Club, Bulawayo | 7 Aug 2025 | |
| 176 | 185 | West Indies | Hagley Oval, Christchurch | 2 Dec 2025 | |
| 121 | 194 | Ireland | Stormont, Belfast | 27 May 2026 |
The first of them was the biggest. Recalled for the home series against South Africa in February 2024 and sent in at No. 4, he made 240 at the Bay Oval in only his fourth Test, the highest maiden Test hundred by a New Zealand batter. The 134 at Bengaluru eight months later won New Zealand their first Test in India since 1988, on the way to a 3-0 series win. Three more have come since, against Zimbabwe, the West Indies and Ireland.
Tests: before and after No. 4
| Tests | Mat | Inns | Runs | Ave | HS | 100s |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2021-22, batting at No. 7 or 8 | 3 | 6 | 73 | 14.60 | 18* | 0 |
| Since February 2024, mostly at No. 4 | 21 | 38 | 1792 | 52.71 | 240 | 5 |
His first three Tests, in 2021 and early 2022, were as a spin-bowling all-rounder at No. 7 or 8, and he averaged 14.60. Since the recall he has averaged 52.71 across 21 Tests, and in 2025 he made 469 runs at 117.25 in five Tests. All five of his Test hundreds belong to the second spell.
ODIs: the ICC tournament batter
| Score | Balls | Opponent | Ground | Date | Event |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 123* | 96 | England | Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad | 5 Oct 2023 | World Cup 2023 |
| 116 | 89 | Australia | Dharamsala | 28 Oct 2023 | World Cup 2023 |
| 108 | 94 | Pakistan | Chinnaswamy, Bengaluru | 4 Nov 2023 | World Cup 2023 |
| 112 | 105 | Bangladesh | Rawalpindi | 24 Feb 2025 | Champions Trophy 2025 |
| 108 | 101 | South Africa | Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore | 5 Mar 2025 | Champions Trophy 2025 |
Five ODI hundreds, and all five at ICC events: three in the 2023 World Cup in India and two at the 2025 Champions Trophy. That is the split in his one-day record.
| ODIs | Mat | Inns | Runs | Ave | SR | 100s |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ICC events (World Cup 2023, Champions Trophy 2025) | 14 | 14 | 841 | 64.69 | 106.46 | 5 |
| All other ODIs | 25 | 21 | 583 | 27.76 | 109.18 | 0 |
At the two tournaments he has averaged 64.69. In his other 25 ODIs he has batted 21 times and averages 27.76. Some of that gap is batting position. Eight of those 21 innings came at No. 6 or 7 in 2023, before the World Cup moved him up, and he averaged 23.63 there. But he has opened in the other 13 and averages 30.31, with a best of 79 and no hundred, against 64.69 at the top of the order in the two tournaments. Fourteen games is a small sample. It is still the oddest line in his record. His 578 runs at the 2023 World Cup were the most by any batter at his first World Cup, passing Jonny Bairstow’s 532 from 2019, and at the Champions Trophy he was player of the tournament with 263 runs, even though New Zealand lost the final to India.
Basin Reserve and Hagley Oval
The India series is played at two grounds where his record could hardly be more different.
| Ground | Tests | Inns | Runs | Ave | HS | Scores |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Basin Reserve, Wellington (1st Test, from 19 Nov) | 3 | 5 | 73 | 14.60 | 59 | 0, 59, 3, 6, 5 |
| Hagley Oval, Christchurch (2nd Test, from 27 Nov) | 3 | 6 | 323 | 53.83 | 176 | 4, 82, 34, 24, 3, 176 |
Wellington is his home city and his weakest Test ground in New Zealand: 73 runs in 5 innings, with one fifty. Christchurch is where he made 176 against the West Indies in December 2025. Our Basin Reserve Test records and Hagley Oval Test records have the ground-by-ground picture, and the WTC points table shows what the two Tests are worth.
Rachin Ravindra against India
| Against India | Mat | Runs | HS | Ave |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tests (all five in India) | 5 | 309 | 134 | 38.63 |
| ODIs | 4 | 131 | 75 | 32.75 |
| T20Is | 7 | 89 | 44 | 12.71 |
Every Test he has played against India has been in India, so if the shoulder holds, the Basin Reserve will be his first against them at home. In ODIs he has not made a hundred against India, though his 578-run World Cup was played entirely there. His T20I record against them is thin: 89 runs in 7 innings, the most recent a single run in the 2026 T20 World Cup final in Ahmedabad, which India won by 96 runs.

| 2025 | CSK | 8 | 191 | 65* | 27.29 | 128.19 |
| 2026 | KKR | 0 | – | – | – | – |
Chennai Super Kings had him for two seasons as an opener. His best IPL score is 65 not out against Mumbai Indians at Chepauk in March 2025. CSK released him before the 2026 auction, where Kolkata Knight Riders bought him for his ₹2 crore base price, but he did not play a game for them and left in May to prepare for New Zealand’s Test tour of England.
