The magician is one of the biggest weapons in MS Dhoni’s armory right now. The right-arm off-spinner is currently one of the best spinners in the world as he was the highest wicket-taker in Test cricket last year.

The Chennai-born cricketer chooses to wear number 99 because the number 9 is his favorite number. One other reason is that 9 was his roll number in his school days.

His Twitter handle is also @ashwinravi99. He has become an integral part of the Indian side across all formats.
