*Official* New Zealand tour of India 2024

[RossTaylorsBox]

YES... HA HA HA... YES!

 

[Daemon]

That’s just straight up one of the highest quality hundreds in India I’ve ever seen.

 

[BeeGee]

I like the cut of Ravindra's Jib.

 

[Spark]

What an innings. Wow.

 

[Bahnz]

Rachin has to be the most beautiful stroke maker I've ever seen play for NZ. Makes even Fleming look prosaic by comparison.

Yeah like I think we all sort of believed he would become a generation defining player but this is the sort of innings that makes "would be" into "is"

 

[capt_Luffy]

Hope Ravindra scores a century. Mark my words.
@capt_Luffy get me?

**** off!!!

 

[straw man]

That's an innings I'm really pleased to have watched - the last 40 runs or so have been glorious.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Cracking innings

 

[Chubb]

Incredible knock. Yes NZ were in a strong position but he’s taken a hundred off one of the strongest attacks in the world in their home conditions.

It's honestly as impressive an innings as I've seen from a pure batsmanship pov in a long time.

 

[Moss]

Bloody hell, missed it. Jussst got to the stadium.
Rachin you beauty! Not bad for a number 7 spin bowling allrounder

 

[King Kane]

Rachin bringing up his ton in style just like he brought up his fifty in style, he is a star on the rise.

 

[PlayerComparisons]

@sayon basak Do you now understand why he’s in the new Fab 4?

 

[Spark]

Nutty partnership this

 

[honestbharani]

Yeah.. add KW to this side and its scary.

Ashwin definitely having his worst match in memory since that 2017 Aus series. And I think he was injured for a fair bit of it. Its a tough track and he literally has no runs to bowl at but I have never seen him put less effort into his bowling and therefore look so hittable. Dunno if he is a bit stiff from some minor injury or something.

Rachin been awesome though. And Southee is just hitting every corner of the ground now. They have gone from being happy with a 200 lead to lets hope for a 350 lead. And that is the game. As I called it when we were 6 down, innings defeat.

Not very proactive captaincy from Rohit either. But again, even if u make only 46, you gotta take ur catches and that has been the difference. They could well have been 180 all out by now and we batting again in these conditions. Its funny even when the batting has sucked this badly and our main spinner has been trash, its fielding and esp. catching that ultimately makes the difference.

Great to hear you made it along. Hope you get to enjoy a bit more of his innings from here.

The lack of response to this assault is kind of surprising. They don't seem to have even noticed how quickly the game has just galloped away from them, it doesn't feel like anything has been actually tried.

This is unbelievably sloppy cricket by India

Heh wheels falling off here
