5 most successful spinners in IPL history

#4 Ravichandran Ashwin

Ashwin was a match-winner for CSK.

Many of the young cricket fans know Ashwin as India's premier spin bowling all-rounder in the longer format of the game. However, it was in the IPL where Ashwin made his first mark in the cricketing world. Yes, India's Test specialist started his career as a specialist in the shorter format for the Yellow army, and he has been mighty successful so far in the IPL. For almost 8 years, Ashwin was the go-to man for MS Dhoni, whether during his stint with Chennai Super Kings or Rising Pune Super Giants, and he delivered every single time, winning plenty of matches for his team.

Staring his IPL career in 2009, Ashwin has so far played 111 matches for both CSK and RPSG. In those 111 matches, Ashwin has taken a full 100 wickets and has best bowling figures of 4/34, which stands as his only 4-wicket haul in IPL. With a bowling strike rate of 22.9, average of 24.99 and an economy of 6.54, Ashwin will be a big asset for his new team, Kings XI Punjab in the 2018 season.
