In Kane Williamson's absence, the 23-year-old was chosen to bat at No. 3, and he quickly amassed an undefeated 123 runs off just 93 deliveries.

His father is a software system architect and founded the Hutt Hawks Club, moving from Bengaluru to New Zealand in the 1990s.
Ravindra made his debut in the world of cricket when he was chosen for NZ Under 19 team. He later participated in the 2016 and 2018 U-19 World Cups. He won over everyone in New Zealand's domestic cricket and eventually made his T20I debut for his nation in 2021.
He competed in the 2018 U-19 World Cup as well, and he played against Bangladesh in his first T20I in 2021. He made his Test debut soon after and his ODI debut in 2023. He has so far participated in three tests, twelve ODIs, and eighteen T20 internationals. In the Cricket World Cup 2023 match against Pakistan, he stunned everyone with an outstanding 97-run knock.
In Ahmedabad, left-handed batsmen Conway (152) and Ravindra (123) put up an unbroken 273-run stand to help New Zealand defeat England's 282-9 total with 13.4 overs remaining.
