Ravindra now shares the second spot with cricketing greats such as Sourav Ganguly, Saeed Anwar, Herschelle Gibbs, Upul Tharanga, Shane Watson, and Shikhar Dhawan.
Players with multiple hundreds in a single ICC Champions Trophy:

Opting to bat first, New Zealand displayed a dominant performance with the bat.
Will Young provided a steady start before Ravindra took control of the innings, crafting a sensational 108 off just 101 balls.
His innings, laced with 13 boundaries, was instrumental in guiding New Zealand to a strong position.
Skipper Kane Williamson also played a crucial role, remaining unbeaten on 80 as the Kiwis reached 213/2 in 34 overs.
