#4 Ravichandran Ashwin
Ravichandran Ashwin, one of the rare talents that India has ever produced, is India's most crucial player after Virat Kohli in Test cricket. But the off-spinner has not been able to replicate his Test form in the limited overs formats since the 2015 ICC World Cup.
The Tamil Nadu cricketer has played 14 ODIs since the 2015 World Cup and picked only 16 wickets. Besides, his performances in overseas conditions were under par.
The emergence of spin twins Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal in the last year and a half has made comeback chances ever tougher for Ashwin. With his Test partner Ravindra Jadeja coming back to the fold and performing well, the off-spinner's hopes of finding a spot in the 2019 World Cup squad are almost over.
The 32-year-old has thus far played 111 ODIs and scalped 150 wickets at an economy-rate of 4.92.
