IND vs NZ: New Zealand on the front foot with Rachin Ravindra's century, achieved this feat for the second time in just 10 Tests

New Zealand's Rachin Ravindra has scored a brilliant century in the Bengaluru Test. This is his second century in his Test career and his first against India. Rachin completed his century in 123 balls with the help of 11 fours and 2 sixes. With Rachin Ravindra's century, the New Zealand team looks on the front foot in the Bengaluru Test.

Rachin Ravindra scored his second Test century.

24-year-old Rachin Ravindra scored his first century against South Africa in February this year. He then played a marathon innings of 240 runs. The Test century scored in Bengaluru is not only the first against India but also the first outside home from Rachin Ravindra's bat.

Rachin loves the Bengaluru ground!

How much Rachin Ravindra likes the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium is proved once again by his Test century against India. This was Rachin's first Test match at Chinnaswamy, in which he scored a century in the first innings itself. Before that, he had 150 runs with a century in the 2 ODIs played here. Rachin has also played a T20 match in Bengaluru. In which he scored 61 runs with a half-century.

It has happened after 12 years that a New Zealand batsman has scored a Test century in India. The last time Ross Taylor scored 113 runs was in 2012. Now Rachin Ravindra has not only ended that wait but has also put New Zealand in a position to win a Test match for the first time in 36 years.
