Both Rahul Dravid and Sachin Tendulkar would be proud of Rachin Ravindra for the way he’s shaping his career. Named by his father after the combination of the duo’s first names, Ravindra, 25, has been gradually living up to the potential. 

He was eager to make a mark on his first tour of Pakistan, but unfortunately, an injury to his forehead while attempting a catch in an ODI game in Lahore kept him out for a fortnight. He also missed the opening game of the Champions Trophy against Pakistan, but made a grand return by striking a superb century against Bangladesh. Then, his sojourn to Dubai to face India was not as successful, but the moment he returned to Pakistan for the semi-final, he struck his second century of the tournament.
