Rachin Ravindra became the youngest player to receive the Sir Richard Hadlee Medal, the prestigious accolade for men's game, at the New Zealand Cricket Awards ceremony in Christchurch on Wednesday.

The 24-year-old won the biggest award in the men's category at the New Zealand Cricket's annual award while sclinched the women's category's supreme award - Debbie Hockley Medal - for the second consecutive time. Additionally, she also won the ODI and T20I Player of the Year awards at the gala event. Ravindra played a key role for New Zealand across formats, starting from the ODI World Cup to the recent first-ever home Test series win over South Africa. He also proved his mettle at T20Is for the side. Kane Williamson bagged the Test Player of the Year Award and the Redpath Cup for Men's first-class batting. In the six Test matches in the judging period, Williamson notched 619 runs at 56, including four centuries, and became just the fifth New Zealand player to score a century in both innings of a Test with 118 and 109 in the second Test against South Africa at Bay Oval. Williamson continued his form in the following Test against South Africa at Seddon Park, becoming the fastest player ever to reach 32 Test centuries, and extending his record to seven centuries in seven consecutive Tests. Williamson was also selected in the ICC's Test Team of the Year. Daryl Mitchell and Mitchell Santner took out the ODI and T20I Player of the Year awards, respectively. The former played a key role with the bat for New Zealand in their semifinal finish at ODI World Cup in India. He finished the tournament as fifth-highest run-scorer with 552 runs including two centuries and as many fifties. On the other hand, Santer was a key figure in a Kiwis T20 side that recorded an away series win over UAE, a hard-fought away series draw with England, and a memorable 4-1 home series win over Pakistan, against whom he captained the side in three of the five matches. He capped off the summer by captaining the Blackcaps in the T20I series against Australia and playing his 100thT20 international match in the third match at Eden Park. Suzie Bates won the Ruth Martin Cup for women's domestic batting off the back of a steady season for the Otago Sparks, which saw her notch 530 runs across the Super Smash and the Hallyburton Johnstone Shield competitions.
