3 of India's best turners of the ball

#3 Ravichandran Ashwin

Ashwin leads the current crop of Indian spinners

Having started his career as an opening batsman, Ashwin is now sitting just below Anil Kumble as India's leading spin bowler. Ashwin has been a genuine off-spinner with his carrom balls adding a lot of variety to his bowling. Ashwin has been successful in removing good players of spin with his bowling accuracy and spin. His balls which turn from the leg stump to the off-stump have been a joy to watch

Ashwin's balls spin very much and it has been an advantage on the Indian pitches. Of late, he has been trying the leg-spinners too in the shorter format which has helped him adapt to in the T20s.

Ashwin is not in contention for the shorter-formats for the Indian team. However, he has been a regular in the Test team which could help him create more records. Ashwin's ability with the bat is well-known and this makes him a special player.
