Grateful for the support from the Bengaluru crowd: Rachin Ravindra

The highest-run getter of the ongoing ODI World Cup 2023 spoke about playing at the Chinnaswamy stadium. During the game against Sri Lanka, the crowd was cheering for Ravindra while he was going well.

“It’s a pretty surreal feeling. Grateful for the support, especially playing in Bangalore. Crowd chanting my name is something I will never take for granted. Dreamt of it as a child. Very happy to be here, lucky enough it worked out. Six to 12 months ago, I was not even in the frame. Good to get the job done and get into the playoffs. Lucky enough to have come here in my teenage years on club tours. That has helped me a lot. Nice wickets to bat on. If you play positive cricket, you get rewarded. The guys have adapted well. You talk to Kane, Devon, who are legends,” Rachin told Star Sports after the game
