Ravichandran Ashwin has made it to the ranks of Indian cricketing greats with performances as an outstanding spin bowler
Every now and then a cricketer from Tamil Nadu becomes the toast of the nation. Players from the state have attracted attention over the years but it is safe to say that no cricketer from the state has dominated the headlines as much as Ravichandran Ashwin. He has already made it to the ranks of all-time great Indian cricketers on two grounds – as one of the most outstanding spin bowlers and the finest all-rounder since Kapil Dev.
Later this year, Ashwin completes a decade of test cricket, but he first played for India in the limited over formats in 2010. And while he has made significant contributions to both ODIs and T-20 internationals, it is his outstanding performances in the game’s traditional format that elevates him to superstar status. This year the cricketer has taken a break from IPL to support his family in the face of the Covid-19 crisis.
