Rachin Ravindra’s Phone Stolen in Pakistan Ahead of Champions Trophy

New Zealand all-rounder Rachin Ravindra has had a challenging start ahead of the Champions Trophy 2025. During a tri-series match against Pakistan, Ravindra misjudged a catch under the bright floodlights, resulting in a painful nose injury that left him bleeding. He was immediately taken to a hospital in Lahore for treatment.

While receiving medical care, Ravindra encountered another setback—his iPhone was stolen from the hospital, leaving him frustrated. The incident has once again sparked security concerns in Pakistan, especially with a major ICC event around the corner.
