Though New Zealand lost four wickets in the morning session, Ravindra, whose family hails from Bengaluru, got up the tempo through a breezy century filled with eye-catchy 11 fours and two sixes. The 21-year-old's century was his second in Test cricket, having scored his maiden hundred against South Africa earlier this year.
His hundred was the first by a Kiwi batter in India since Ross Taylor’s Test hundred at the same venue in 2012. With this innings, Ravindra became the 21st New Zealand player to notch up a Test century in India.
Ravindra, who made his Test debut against India in 2021 in Kanpur, stitched a crucial eighth-wicket partnership of 137 runs with Tim Southee, before the latter being dimissed by Mohammed Siraj for 65.
