Blackcaps rookie Rachin Ravindra won't shy away from high catches, as long as he doesn't have to watch the replays.
The debutant played a vital role in New Zealand's ODI series-opening demolition of Sri Lanka at Eden Park, with an impressive 49 runs with the bat.
But it was his catch to dismiss Lahira Kumara and seal the mammoth 198-run victory that brought back flashbacks of a similar moment in his young international career.
In 2021, Ravindra settled underneath another high chance to give spin bowler Ajaz Patel a famous 10-wicket haul in New Zealand's test defeat to India.
Instead on Saturday, the 23-year-old's catch clinched a Blackcaps win, even if he didn't make it look as comfortable as he had originally thought.
"Oh my God," Ravindra told Spark Sport after watching the reply. "Actually looked a little nervier on TV…don't want to look at that again.
"The bowlers have got to do the job to get you in that situation, so all credit to the bowler there but high catches are high catches and hopefully catch the rest that comes my way."
Batting at No.7, Ravindra wasn't expected to be in the middle by the 30th over, but regular wickets presented an opportunity for the usual top-order batter.
His 49 only trailed opener Finn Allen (51) for the team's top individual score, but he isn't sweating on missing out on a debut milestone.
"The half-century becomes irrelevant at this point because you're trying to do your job for the team," he told Spark Sport.
"Probably left a couple of overs out there for the guys at the bottom to see off, which I'll analyse and see what I could've done better.
"The four bowlers bowled really well, the batters at the top did really well, it was just a great day all-round."
Ravindra isn't the only Blackcaps rookie to have shown impressive glimpses in their short career, with bowler Henry Shipley bagging a five-for.
With just four ODI matches to his name, the quick has had little issue adjusting to international cricket, but it's left him only wanting more - especially with the bat.
"The batters said there was enough there and the score we had on the board was going to be tricky and that gave us the confidence to go out there and do that," he told Spark Sport.
"I take a little bit of confidence from being in India in those conditions, and those players being world class.
"Coming back here to our own conditions, you take the confidence and the learnings from that and just try and apply it.
"Probably a few nerves there as well to get them out of the system, and getting that wicket probably gave me a bit of wind in the tail and get the ball down the other end.
"That's probably going to be a major focus going forward and how I can be effective and do a role with the bat down the lower order.
"Probably not going quite as well as I would've liked this far but we'll see where it goes, and just keep working away on it."
