New Zealand’s Rachin Ravindra on Monday thanked his support staff and well-wishers for the care provided after a freak on-field accident earlier this month as he returned to action with a match-winning century that booked his side’s passage to the semi-finals of the Champions Trophy.

Ravindra hit 112 as New Zealand marched into the semis, taking India along with them, after his team’s win over Bangladesh in Rawalpindi. Ravindra’s fourth ODI ton, on his Champions Trophy debut, sealed New Zealand’s chase of 237 with 23 balls and five wickets to spare. The left-hander missed New Zealand’s opening victory over Pakistan after being hit by the ball on his forehead when fielding in a recent tri-series match against the same opponents.
