Virat Kohli shakes hands with Roston Chase after the latter scored a brilliant century to save the match for West Indies
#8 Ravichandran Ashwin
He is the greatest off break bowler in the world at the moment and he has performed like a No1 bowler in the series so far. He picked up 7 wickets in the first Test and backed it up with a century. He did a terrific job in the 2nd Test too and bagged a five-wicket haul.
In the last few years, he has been a revelation for India and has picked up a bagful of wickets against each and every nation. He goes on bowling in the right areas and can wait for his wickets. He is a terrific Test bowler and has got many variations up his sleeve and is also one of the best exponents of the carom ball.

About the author
Arya Sekhar Chakraborty
Arya is a cricket journalist with around 8 years of experience who writes informative listicles and is in charge of text commentary at Sportskeeda. He is a graduate in Journalism, Psychology, and English, and has previously worked for websites such as CricTracker, SportzWiki, Cricket Addictor, Cricfit, OneCricket, and Cricket Exchange. His vast experience has led him to know the pulse of his readers and he cross-checks information from a number of credible sources before writing a single word for their sake.
A former Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) U14 and U16 player, Arya's tryst with cricket began after watching Sachin Tendulkar in action during his childhood. He is an ardent fan of Mumbai Indians (MI) owing to Tendulkar's initial involvement and also bleeds blue for his national team. He is an admirer of Test cricket as he feels the red-ball format teaches one about every facet of life.
Arya, who feels ODIs should not be completely replaced with T20Is owing to the former's pacing and charm, would like to go back in time to 1998 and watch the Master Blaster in action. He has experience in interviewing a few Bengali cricketers such as Kazi Junaid Saifi, Shib Shankar Pal, Sayan Ghosh and Prayas Ray Barman. He has also translated a couple of Bengali cricket books, and made Indian Premier League (IPL) pre-match videos.
He likes to spend time with his family and binge on web series during his spare time.
