Southee Lauds 'magnificent' Rachin's Gutsy Knock In NZ's Loss In Galle Test
Galle International Stadium: New Zealand captain Tim Southee showered praise on young all-rounder Rachin Ravindra, calling him a 'magnificent player' after his gutsy knock in the first Test against Sri Lanka in Galle.
Ravindra's effort almost carried New Zealand to an incredible victory, but Sri Lanka’s Prabath Jayasuriya had the final say, securing a 63-run win for the hosts.
Ravindra, batting at No. 4, played the role of a lone warrior for his side. His 92 off 168 balls was a masterclass in patience and resilience, especially as the rest of the New Zealand batters, including former captain Kane Williamson, struggled on a deteriorating Day 4 pitch. No other Kiwi batter managed to score more than 30 in the final innings, leaving Ravindra to shoulder the responsibility of chasing 275 on his own.
