Rachin Ravindra said chatting with Devon Conway out in the middle was a great experience and added that he is always looking to learn from Kane Williamson and others.

"Even just chatting with Dev is great. Most grounds in New Zealand are very good wickets and the dimensions are slightly smaller. So you feel like if you needed to get going, you could. Hopefully, I don't start as slow next time, but the nature of the stadium meant that you could catch up," said Ravindra after the game.

"T20's the format I haven't played as much as the other ones… so feel like I'm gaining experience from each performance or innings, and learning from guys around me. Having guys around - like Dev, the power of GP [Glenn Phillips] and Daryl [Mitchell], [and] Kane [Williamson] obviously - [and] the way they go about switching between formats is a good model," he added.

New Zealand and Chennai Super Kings’ cricketer Rachin scored a blistering 35-ball 68 for his team in the first T20I against Australia at Wellington on February 21.The left-hander put on a partnership of 113 runs for the second wicket with Devon Conway (63), helping the Kiwis pile up a massive total of 215/3 in their 20 overs.

The 24-year-old also added that his main aim is to be a multi-faceted cricketer."Not even just looking at the T20 World Cup, being a multi-faceted versatile cricketer is what I want to be. A genuine allrounder who can help the team in different ways and affect the game in different ways. That [selection] will all take care of itself; I'm not too worried about that sort of stuff.

"If I can take each game as a learning experience and drive the team forward, that's what matters to me. If that cumulates in the selection, then great. If it doesn't, that's okay. I've got a lot of time ahead of me," he added.(UNI)
