Updated: 17 February 2023

Ravichandran Ashwin was born in a Tamil family on September 17, 1986, in Chennai. He is one of the most successful bowlers in Test Cricket for India. Off-late, Ashwin has also evolved as a very handy all-rounder. However, when we talk about Ashwin, we always remember him as a calm and composed cricketer.

He doesn’t live a glamorous lifestyle, no tattoos, no fancy kinds of stuff. This is the reason; he is not recognized in Indian Cricket as an effective all-rounder. However, his few performances on foreign soil have been outstanding both as a bowler and also as a lower middle-order batsman.

Ravichandran Ashwin created a name for himself in the shorter version of the game with his street-smart exploits in the IPL, since his Test debut against the West Indies in 2011, Ashwin has made it a habit to pick up wickets, especially in dry and dusty conditions that encourage turn.

He has created a reputation for himself in the shorter formats of the game, particularly in T20 cricket, where his accuracy and shrewdness have helped him establish himself as a reliable bowler. He has filled Harbhajan Singh’s shoes and has established himself as India’s finest bowler on the subcontinent.

In addition to helping Tamil Nadu to victory in the domestic one-day tournament in 2009, Ashwin had a steady season at the domestic level, which earned him a contract with the BCCI. When Harbhajan Singh pulled out of the first two home games against South Africa in early 2010, Ashwin was called in to fill the void. He did not, however, receive the desired India Test cap.
