England vs India 2018: 5 key players for India in the Test series

#4 Ravichandran Ashwin

Will Ashwin dominate in English conditions?

Ashwin has been a crucial all-rounder for the Indian team for a while now, and though he is relatively inexperienced in playing Test cricket in English conditions, his two matches have had decent returns. He did not bowl much in the first match but had a tight economy rate of just over 2 and played a couple of handy innings of over 40 runs each. In the second match, he picked up 3 important wickets for 72 runs.

Ashwin provides the much-needed stability down the order with his technically adept batting. Being the 5th ranked bowler in the ICC rankings and 4th in the all-rounder rankings, he will be looking to live up to those expectations with his partner-in-crime, Ravindra Jadeja.
