New Zealand all-rounder Rachin Ravindra said he is exceeding his own expectations at the World Cup after hitting a second century in the tournament during Saturday's narrow defeat by Australia at Dharamsala.
The mop-haired 23-year-old announced himself on the World Cup stage with his maiden ton in New Zealand's opening victory over defending champions England before making half-centuries against the Netherlands and hosts India.
"Yeah, I guess you probably look at it at the start and be obviously grateful to be here and how things have worked out," Ravindra told reporters when asked whether he had performed better than he expected to in the showpiece. Born to Indian parents, Ravindra has enjoyed plenty of support in the country and said the crowd in Dharamsala was among the best he had played in front of.
