5 Greatest Chennai Super Kings Players Ever

#4 Ravichandran Ashwin

Ravichandran Ashwin celebrates taking a wicket for CSK

In many ways, Ravi Ashwin's career trajectory resembles the dream scenario for a lot of young Indian cricketers.

He used the IPL as a springboard to launch himself into international cricket, where he has already developed a reputation as one of India's greatest spinners.

R Ashwin had an instant connection with the CSK faithful given his local roots, and many fans were sad to see him drafted by the Kings XI Punjab after CSK's return to the IPL.

In his 6 years at CSK, he left a legacy that will be tough to match. He is the leading wicket-taker in CSK history with 120 wickets to his name.

He was also known for his economical bowling, best showcased by his meagre economy of 6.66 throughout his career with the franchise. He also has a team-high 5 maidens to his name.

He was involved in a number of memorable matches for the franchise, most notably against RCB, getting the better of the dangerous Chris Gayle on most occasions.
