Fans go berserk as Rachin Ravindra smashes century against South Africa in Champions Trophy 2025

Rachin Ravindra‘s impressive performance in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 has indeed sent fans into a frenzy. During the semi-final match against South Africa, Ravindra scored his fifth ODI century, completing it in just 93 deliveries at the Gadaffi Stadium in Lahore. This century marked his second in the Champions Trophy 2025, following his earlier ton against Bangladesh, where he became the first player to score centuries on both ODI World Cup and Champions Trophy debuts.

Rachin Ravindra’s century sets the tone for New Zealand’s strong total

Ravindra’s knock against the Proteas was crucial, as it helped New Zealand in setting a strong total. His partnership with Kane Williamson was particularly notable, contributing significantly to the team’s efforts1. The young opener has been in phenomenal form, showcasing his ability to perform under pressure in major ICC events. His achievements have not only thrilled fans but also positioned him as a rising star in international cricket.

Ravindra smashed 13 fours and a six during his stay in the middle. He got out for 108 (101) while facing South African pacer Kagiso Rabada in the 34th over of the first innings.

Least innings to 5 ODI tons for New Zealand

22 – Devon Conway
28 – Rachin Ravindra
30 – Daryl Mitchell
56 – Kane Williamson
64 – Nathan Astle

Aged 25 years 107 days, Ravindra has also become the second-youngest New Zealand batter to get to five ODI hundreds, after Williamson (24y 165d).

Here are the reactions of fans:

The future is already here for New Zealand… Rachin Ravindra well on his way to taking over the baton from Kane Williamson! 💯#SAvNZ #CT2025
