As per ESPN Cricinfo, Ravindra said that receiving such special praise from one of the best batters in the world was the coolest thing that he has been part of. The southpaw elaborated on how it felt to play alongside Williamson and called it a pure bliss to bat with him.

After I got to my century, Kane come up to me and said, ‘mate, you’re unbelievable’. It’s so surreal. To be receiving that kind of special praise from one of the best batters in the world. It’s the coolest thing I’ve been a part of,” he said.

Playing alongside Kane is always very special,” he said. “Sharing the crease with someone I idolise so much, life has come full circle for me. It’s a real ‘pinch-me’ moment. Seeing him go about his business as usual, with his calmness and timing, and the positions he gets himself into, it was pure batting bliss. As a lover of New Zealand cricket, seeing him still score Test hundreds is unbelievable,” he added.

Rachin took 189 deliveries to reach his century, smashing 11 boundaries and a six en route to the milestone. This is the southpaw’s fourth Test.
