Ajantha Mendis’ arrival and the launch of the carrom ball found several successors in international cricket, but none have been better than Ravichandran Ashwin. Ashwin usurped the title of India's leading spinner soon after making his debut in 2010.
He was part of the Indian squad that won the ICC World Cup 2011, and has hence carried the burden of the Indian spin department on his shoulders. His success, however, has mostly come in Indian conditions. He announced his arrival in Test cricket with 22 wickets in a three-match series against West Indies in 2011, but his record away from home and in non spin-friendly conditions shows that Ashwin has a lot to achieve.
Despite his lack of overseas performances (Ravindra Jadeja has been preferred to him of late in overseas Tests), Ashwin managed to become the fifth-fastest (and the fastest since 1931) to a hundred Test wickets. Also a batsman in the classical mould who can change gears at will, Ashwin has already scored two Test hundreds.
Mentored by MS Dhoni for both India and Chennai Super Kings, Ashwin has played a key role in his franchise’s IPL titles in 2010 and 2011.
