Thrown into the starting XI unexpectedly, Ravindra’s explosive batting at the top order has been instrumental. Transitioning seamlessly from Test cricket, his adaptability and confidence shine through. Formerly a lower-order batsman, Ravindra’s elevation during the ODI World Cup showcased his potential. Reflecting on his success, he credits his comfort as an opener and the confidence gained from past experiences. Ravindra’s IPL journey underscores his ability to thrive under pressure and deliver impactful performances.
