INTRODUCTION
Ravichandran Ashwin might seem quiet, but he’s a cricket player who can do a lot of damage with the ball. He got noticed after a great 2010 Indian Premier League season with the Chennai Super Kings and made his one-day international debut against Sri Lanka in June 2010. He started playing Test cricket in 2011 against West Indies and has become India’s preferred spinner in all formats. He’s really tricky for batsmen with his off-spin and special carrom ball. Ashwin can also be dangerous with the bat. He used to be an opening batsman and has four Test centuries and a high score of 65 in ODIs to prove it.
