Rachin Ravindra, the promising all-rounder from New Zealand, secures the third nomination for the ICC Player of the Month Award. The young batter has been the standout performer for New Zealand in the ongoing World Cup 2023, leading the team’s run-scoring charts and ranking as the tournament’s third-highest run-scorer with three centuries to his name.
