'Idolised them for years': Rachin reveals how Kohli and Rohit have shaped his batting

New Zealand all‑rounder Rachin Ravindra says that the batting styles of India’s Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have shaped his own game, noting Kohli’s success on bouncy pitches and Rohit’s mastery of spin as key lessons. He added that the duo’s consistency and temperament have been models he has tried to emulate as he prepares for the upcoming ODI series against India.

Ravindra’s breakout came at the 2023 ODI World Cup in India, where he scored 578 runs at 64.22, while Kohli finished with 765 runs and Rohit with 594. He also reflected on New Zealand’s historic 3‑0 Test series win in India last year, calling it a confidence boost ahead of the next tour.
