SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA - MARCH 26: Ravichandran Ashwin of India unsuccessfully appeals for the run out of Aaron Finch of Australia during the 2015 Cricket World Cup Semi Final match between Australia and India at Sydney Cricket Ground on March 26, 2015 in Sydney, Australia.

The highly rated Indian off-spinner was benched for the first two games before making a return in the final group stage game against South Africa. He announced his return with the big scalp of Hashim Amla that triggered the collapse.

Ashwin bowled with vigour, mixing up pace and flight on the ball, and that should see him be picked once again for the semi-final clash against Bangladesh. The Chennai spinner has a plethora of variations up his sleeve and is a street smart bowler who could be a handful for the Tigers in a must-win encounter.
