Following the conclusion of the first day of the Test match between New Zealand and South Africa in Mount Maunganui, Rachin Ravindra shared his sentiments, labelling the opportunity to share the pitch with his "idol" Kane Williamson as a "pinch-me" moment. Reflecting on his performance, Ravindra provided insight into his approach, mentioning that he adopted a selective approach in choosing which deliveries to play. This strategic decision was influenced by Williamson's strong performance at the other end. The duo stitched an unbeaten 219-run stand after NZ were reduced to 39/2.
