#3 Ravichandran Ashwin
The 31-year old right arm off break bowler has come a long way in his career, especially in test matches. Apart from his bowling, his batting has improved a lot in the recent past, making him a great asset for the Indian team.
From January 2016, Ashwin has played 20 test matches, in which he has taken 116 wickets with an economy rate of 2.86 runs per over, including ten 5-wicket hauls. He has also scored vital 831 runs in these matches at an average of 34.62, which consists two hundreds and five fifties. In the recent English County season, he played 4 matches, where he took 20 wickets and scored 214 runs for his team Worcestershire.
Ashwin’s all-round ability will definitely create problems for the visiting team. He currently ranks number 4 in the ICC Test bowlers rankings and number 3 in the ICC Test all-rounders rankings.
