Hamilton: Rachin Ravindra, who scored a double century for the Kiwis in the first innings, was named man of the match as New Zealand won by 281 runs in the first cricket test against South Africa. Rachin Ravindra’s innings lifted New Zealand, who were down at 39-2, through a 232-run partnership with Williamson.
Williamson scored a century in both Test innings, but Rachin, who scored a century in the first innings, was chosen as the man of the match. After receiving the man of the match award, Rachin replied with a smile that he would never share the award with Kane Williamson.
Bumrah is the first Indian pacer to reach the top spot in the ICC Test rankings
I will not share this award with anyone, Williamson has 31 centuries. I only have one century. Therefore, it will not be given to him either. Rachin Ravindra said that it is always a pleasure to contribute to the team’s victory.
