Ravichandran Ashwin
The India vs England series is all set to begin on the 25th of January where both the teams will feature in a Test series that includes 5 games. The Indian squad has been announced with the spin trio of Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel in the mix and will look forward to the conditions that will suit them really well. All these spinners combined have over 800 wickets between them in Test matches and will be the key players against these explosive English batters, who are known to attack rather than defend their way through the game.
The bowler who will be the man to look out for is Ravichandran Ashwin who is currently one of the highest wicket takers in Test cricket for India. Ashwin has taken 490 wickets in 95 matches making him the second highest wicket taker in Test matches under Anil Kumble. He is also the second highest wicket taker among current spinners as well. Along with his bowling, Ashwin has also scored some valuable runs with the bat where he has scored over 3000 runs which also includes 5 Test centuries.
Ashwin secures the number 1 spot in Test rankings
Ashwin is no doubt one of the best spinners in the world right now and currently holds the number 1 position in the Test rankings among bowlers. This proves that Ashwin is still one of the leading bowlers even at the age of 37.along with this he also holds the number two ranking in the all rounder rankings as well just under his spin partner Ravindra Jadeja. Ashwin has shown incredible consistency with both bat and ball, and will be regarded as one of the best spinners in the world with his clever tactics as well.
Ashwin has already created a legacy for himself with his amazing performances in not only Tests, but every single format he has played. He has been part of India’s triumphant victories in the 2011 World Cup and 2013 Champions Trophy as well. He is already regarded as one of the smartest cricketers as well and it will not be a surprise if he bags one of the prizes from Apex Cricket Council. The career of Ashwin has been full of great moments and we all will look forward to his games till the end of his career as well.
