Will Rachin be able to break Sachin's record that has been going on for 20 years? How did Kohli and Warner leave the legend behind?

World Cup 2023 is in its final stages. The picture of the semi-finals is almost clear. India, South Africa, and Australia have already reached the semi-finals. The fourth place is vacant for which New Zealand and Pakistan are fighting. New Zealand's young batsman Rachin Ravindra has performed brilliantly so far in this World Cup.

Rachin Ravindra has surprised everyone and scored 565 runs in 9 innings at an average of 70.62 so far in this World Cup. During this period, he also scored three centuries and one half-century. Rachin is at the forefront of the race for the Golden Bat, beating legends like Virat Kohli, Quinton de Kock, Rohit Sharma, and David Warner. In such a situation, Rachin has a golden opportunity to break the record of the great batsman Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar.

In the World Cup 2003, Tendulkar was the highest run-scorer in the tournament and he also received the Golden Bat for this. In this World Cup, Sachin scored 673 runs in 11 innings at an average of 61.18. During this period he scored 1 century and 5 half-centuries. This is the most runs scored by any batsman in a single World Cup. 20 years have passed but no one has been able to break this record.

Australian legend Matthew Hayden has come closest to Sachin's record. Hayden scored 659 runs in 10 innings in the World Cup 2007. Apart from him, in the World Cup 2019, Indian opener Rohit Sharma had scored 648 runs in 10 innings. In this World Cup, Australia's David Warner had scored 647 runs in 10 matches. Whereas Shakib Al Hasan of Bangladesh had scored 606 runs in eight matches.

The New Zealand team has almost made it to the semi-finals. In such a situation, Rachin has one more chance to break Sachin's record. And if the Kiwi team defeats the Indian team in the semi-finals, then they will have a chance to break this record in the final match as well.
