Match Overview
In the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup final held on March 8, 2026, at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, Rachin Ravindra’s performance was notable for its brevity. He scored only 1 run before being dismissed, contributing to New Zealand’s early struggles in the match.
Key Moments
Ravindra’s dismissal came when Ishan Kishan executed a stunning diving catch, showcasing his agility and skill on the field. This moment marked a significant turning point as New Zealand lost their second wicket at a mere 32 runs.
India’s Innings
India, batting first, managed to score a total of 255 runs for the loss of 5 wickets. Sanju Samson led the charge with an impressive 89 runs off just 46 balls, supported by Abhishek Sharma who added 54 runs and Ishan Kishan who contributed 52 runs to the total.
Despite his early exit, Ravindra’s earlier performance in the tournament had garnered attention, making his dismissal particularly disappointing for New Zealand fans. His earlier success included a memorable moment when he dismissed Suryakumar Yadav on the very first ball he bowled in the match.
