Personal Life
As of 2025, Rachin Ravindra is just 25 years old as he was actually born on 18 November 1999 in Wellington, New Zealand, to, of course, Indian parents Ravi Krishnamurthy and Deepa Krishnamurthy. Not a lot of people know this, but Rachin’s father used to play club cricket for Bengaluru. So, no wonder he started playing cricket at a very young age and, in a way, became fond of this sport. We’ll come to that later, like how it turned out for him.
As for his love life, well, he is actually in a long-term relationship with Premila Morar, though they aren’t married yet and have no children together.
Professional Life and IPL Career
As we already hinted it away, Rachin Ravindra actually made his international debut for the New Zealand cricket team back in 2021, and because he performed so well in just a few matches, he was included in the 2023 ODI World Cup team as well. Like, right off the bat, he hit a 123 run in one match against England in this ODI World Cup, and even became New Zealand’s top run scorer in the entire tournament.
Sure enough, looking at his performance in the ODI World Cup 2023, Chennai Super Kings went for him in the IPL 2024 mega auctions and bought him for ₹1.8 crore. When the IPL season started, he didn’t get a chance to play, but then Devon Conway got injured and then the CSK team gave him a chance, and from get go, he started hitting big, like scoring 37 runs in just 15 balls, and in next match he scored 46 runs in just 20 balls against Gujarat Titans. Because of his performance in the last IPL season, he’s getting regular chances in this IPL season as well where he is once again part of CSK.
