IPL 2018: 5 Indian players for whom this IPL season will be important

#1 Ravichandran Ashwin

Ashwin has a great variety in his bowling and would like to make most of it in the forthcoming season

Ravichandran Ashwin has been left out of the ODI team owing to his poor performance in the Champions Trophy 2017.

In the past, Ashwin has struggled in ODIs, bowling defensive lines and containing the batsmen with dot balls. India has lost matches due to the lack of wickets in the middle overs.

Now with the extra responsibility of captaining Kings XI Punjab, Ashwin has a lot to prove and would look to take heaps of wickets for the team. With his immense experience and good performances in the IPL, he can be a strong contender for the World Cup 2019.
