India vs West Indies 2016: India Probable Playing XI

8) Ravichandran Ashwin

Ravichandran Ashwin will be looking to prove his doubters wrong

Ravichandran Ashwin has come in for a little bit of criticism lately. The 29 year from Chennai has been labelled as a ‘dustbowl bully’, absolutely dominant on sub-continent pitches but failing miserably in foreign conditions that do not assist him as much. The signs were promising in the second tour game as Ashwin picked up 3 wickets in each innings. Sourav Ganguly was recently quoted as saying that Ashwin will be key for India’s chances in the Caribbean and it would be hard to argue with him considering the fact that the off spinner has won 5 Man of the Series trophies in his Test career. To put that in perspective, Virat Kohli has none. Ravichandran Ashwin, the wily one at #8.
