Rachin Ravindra Equals Sourav Ganguly’s ICC Champions Trophy Record
New Zealand’s rising star, Rachin Ravindra, has made headlines by matching an illustrious record held by former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly. In the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy semi-final against South Africa, Ravindra scored a stunning 108 runs, marking his second century of the tournament.
A Historic Achievement
Ravindra’s remarkable performance places him in an elite group of cricketers who have scored multiple centuries in a single ICC Champions Trophy edition. He now shares this honor with cricket legends such as Saeed Anwar, Herschelle Gibbs, Upul Tharanga, Shane Watson, and Shikhar Dhawan. Leading the pack is West Indies legend Chris Gayle, who holds the record for the most centuries in a single tournament with three, achieved in 2006.
