The one in sunglasses, I recall him much slimmer from 2005

Rachin Ravindra

[Gollum]

Kudos. Rachin is going to end up as an ATG, better than Kane. 

[nevada]

Wow! Nice to know he is at the ground, watching his boy score a hundred there. What a proud moment for him! 

[Rajiv]

He is from Bangalore and a good old friend of Dravid as well.

What does the title mean? This guy is Rachin's dad, so I gather. But is he the guy who started ICF?

Yup, we have a history from Indian Cricket Fever where we resided on a place called Sportsnetwork which also had the old pakpassion around 2002. Due to the mods having a high on Ganguly, many left and I already knew ravi as we broadasted cricket those days ( a big deal that time ) and he proposed to start this and with him since then.

You will never hear from him, a quiet behind the scenes person.

 

PS He showed us rachins kid videos back in the day too..and see where he is now!

 

Another fun fact, I studied with a Pakistani guy in Switzerland who kinda got the fan of me in cricket, I never really liked the sport before that - this was around  1996. we were in US together too around 1998.. He is from a rich family in lahore, just found out recently he is now a director in PSL

[SandeepMotta]

Wow didn't know this. Anyway super happy for him and his kid is going to be a star.

[Adamant]

So basically he would want Rachin to score big but Nz to still lose.

 

I don't think someone who started ICF will ever support the opposition.

[Norman]

Oh wow.

 

Did not know Rachin's father is the owner of this site lol.

I still remember how Ravi jerry-rgged our own little cricket streaming setup from his PC. We used to watch on winamp when willow etc weren't even realistic options for all games coverage in US/Canada.  The all night BS chat sessions during games.  Been years since then.  How cool that one of 'ours' gets to see his son boss international cricket like Rachin is.  Remember his kiddie videos on YT back then?  good old days.  fraaak I'm old!

Nice to hear from old-timers here! I was in the old ICF too, brought here by Dhondy. Another fun/fact Rachin is a combination of Rahul (of Dravid fame) and Sachin!  Cricket runs in their family. Kudos to them
