Sports Sky ‘ Michael Atherton greeted New Zealand Rachin Ravindra’s target as “one of the brightest talents in the game” before their clash with India in the trophy final of Sunday.
Ravindra sparked it once again on the world stage with one hundred fifth ODI in the 50-director of Black Capts to South Africa in Wednesday’s semifinals five of those centuries recorded on a global ICC tour.
Kane Williamson-Reled Long as a member of The Fab Four Best Batters in the world game-also scored a 15th ODI tone, but Atherton believes that 25-year-old Ravindra will soon take over that cloak when his 34-year-old team moves.
“Rachin Ravindra is one of the brightest talents in the game,” Atherton said.
“We say similar to Harry Brook, and there are Yashasvi Jaiswal with India, these are the boys who will be among a small part of the other generation of greats.
“Kane Williamson has undoubtedly been part of what we call ‘Fab Four’, along with (Joe) Root, (Steve) Smith and (Virat) Kohli, and I think Ravindra is among the other group of players to get it.
“He’s a fantastic player, some of the shooting he played in the semifinals were so stylish.”

But Sports Sky ‘ Nasser Hussain has supported the black lids to set a strong show in the Sunday final, saying, “They will not show it, they will not drown.
“We were eating dinner with (former Australia’s goal) Aaron Finch and he summarized it quite well by saying that New Zealand are never a side that beat themselves.
“All the way through the New Zealand formation they have some very, very tough crickets that turn into every single game and give it their absolute best – that is why they will always be there around semifinals and finals.
“They also have that excellent mix among the elderly professionals who have been there year, year outside – how will Williamson, one of the greatest of all time – and young people in Rachin Ravindra’s likes.
“They may lose well (New Zealand), but if they do so, it will be because India beat them.” “
