Ravichandran Ashwin is arguably one of the greats in the modern game. Not only he is a tricky customer with the ball but a reliable lower-order bat who has pulled India out of jail many times in the past.
The Tweaker has been part of many memorable wins for India and also has played a crucial part in many of them.
