He might not have had the backing of his captain in the series against Australia and in the World T20, but when it comes to the IPL, Ravichandran Ashwin is MS Dhoni's go-to bowler. Whether it is in the powerplay, where he needs wickets or if the game is getting away from him, Ashwin is always Dhoni first preference. And in the IPL, the off-spinner has repaid that faith as well.

Going into the ninth edition of the IPL, the 29-year-old is just 10 wickets away from becoming the sixth bowler to take 100 IPL wickets. Although he will be bowling on tracks that aren't known to assist spinners massively, he has the variations necessary to trouble batsmen on any kind of surface. And he will be massively important to their chances of success in the tournament.
