When Black Cap Rachin Ravindra scored the first double century in just his fourth Test match this week, his fashion designer girlfriend was cheering for him.
Premila Morar celebrated Ravindra’s first century against South Africa with a story of him on the field on Instagram accompanied by a message of a red 100 and a heart of love.
For his second century, Morar posted another story with a photo of her boyfriend on the field writing “yayyyy!!!” with a blue heart while Ravindra put the Proteas in a serious conflict at Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui.
Ravindra and Morar are a powerful couple on the rise in sports and fashion.
Last year, 24-year-old Wellington-born Ravindra made his mark on the world cricket scene, racking up three centuries and 578 runs at the 2023 World Cup in India.
Ravindra ended last year with a hitting rate of 108.03 and won the 2023 ICC Emerging Male Cricketer of the Year award
In December, Ravindra was signed by the Chennai Super Kings in the 2024 Indian Premier League player auction.
Respected sports commentators tell Spy that the left-handed batter is a phenomenon. He is expected to become the biggest cricket celebrity in New Zealand. His appeal to the Indian T20 audience will certainly see mega sponsorship deals coming soon.
Ravindra came in 8th in the Google’s top 10 trending athletes for 2023.
Meanwhile, 23-year-old Morar is excelling in fashion.
Two years ago, Morar designed and constructed a huge yellow jacket that was featured on the digital cover of Vogue India worn by Kiwi Anita Chhiba, based in London.
It highlighted the South Asian creatives who are innovating with their cutting-edge aesthetics.
Now based between New Zealand and Australia, Morar graduated from Massey University with a first-class honours bachelor’s degree in Fashion Design.
Morar also used her skills to work in product development at the Cotton On Group in Melbourne. She showcases her own design work on her Instagram page called @morarfashions.
The busy couple started dating three and a half years ago. On Instagram, Morar has shared the couple’s downtime on holiday together at the Gold Coast in Australia, enjoying Dreamworld in September last year, as well as free time in Lake Taupō, Queenstown, and Wānaka.
Morar was there to celebrate Ravindra’s award nights and was proud when Morar was internationalized in April last year, in Wellington.
