The first Test between India and New Zealand started yesterday. India won the toss and elected to bat first. They lost all their wickets in their first innings at the end of 111.1 overs and scored 345 runs.
New Zealand then went on to score 296 for the loss of all wickets at the end of 142.3 overs in the first innings. Meanwhile, New Zealand’s Rachin Raveendran returned to the pavilion with just 13 runs to spare. His wicket was taken by Indian batsman Jadeja. After Jadeja dropped this wicket, many reports about the similarities between the two went viral on the internet.
Accordingly, both players have jersey number 8. Both players are left-handed spin bowlers. Both have the name ‘Raveendran’ in their names. Also both players bat with the left hand. There are many similarities.
Also, Rachin has been named along with the first names of the former coaches of India, the current coach of the Indian team Rahul Dravid and the best batsman Sachin Tendulkar. His first name was formed by adding the word ‘R’ from Rahul and the word ‘Sin’ from Sachin.
His parents are of Indian descent, both of whom emigrated to New Zealand several years ago. Rachin’s parents love cricket. It is noteworthy that due to this they combined the names of two heroes of the Indian team and named their son.
