In a cricketing spectacle at Bengaluru\u2019s M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, New Zealand\u2019s Rachin Ravindra, at just 23, etched his name in history by eclipsing Sachin Tendulkar\u2019s record for the most runs in a single edition of the Cricket World Cup before turning 25. This momentous feat unfolded during New Zealand\u2019s clash against Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n
Tendulkar\u2019s record of 523 runs, set in the 1996 World Cup when he was also 23, crumbled as Ravindra showcased his batting prowess, surpassing the milestone with a well-timed shot off Maheesh Theekshana in the second innings of the match.<\/p>\n
Before this remarkable match, Ravindra had already amassed 523 runs in eight innings with an impressive average of 74.71. The young batter, displaying a remarkable consistency, recorded three centuries and two half-centuries, establishing himself as the leading run-scorer for the Kiwis in the World Cup.<\/p>\n
Adding to his accolades, Ravindra not only outshone Tendulkar but also surpassed Jonny Bairstow\u2019s record for the most runs in a maiden World Cup edition. Bairstow\u2019s previous mark of 532 runs in the 2019 edition was left behind as Ravindra\u2019s cricketing brilliance took center stage in this thrilling encounter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
