Ravichandran Ashwin, an Indian international cricketer, is best known for his bowling prowess in the cricket world. Born into humble beginnings, he began his cricket journey in Tamil Nadu as a domestic cricket player for a state team. However, his destiny led him to the international arena. He soon joined the Indian cricket team in August 2010 for a test match against the West Indies. Since then, he has established himself as one of India’s premier spinners in test cricket.
Along with traditional off-spin bowling, Ashwin has developed his own unique form of delivery, known as a “carrom ball.” Over the course of his long and fruitful career, he has given some notable and famous performances in all formats of cricket. He even held the number-one spot in the ICC Test rankings for bowlers. Needless to say, his ability to take wickets in any condition has earned him this prestigious ranking.
