The local hero of Chennai Super Kings, India’s premier off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin made his IPL debut in the yellow outfit back in 2009. He came to the year after that with his haul of 13 wickets in 12 matches. The intelligent bowler soon established himself in the side with sterling performances.

Captain MS Dhoni and R Ashwin formed an excellent duo which was skilled at planning opponent’s dismissals. Ashwin began bowling with the new ball which disrupted opening strategies of other teams. The off-spinner enjoyed great returns in the IPL and soon paved his way into the Indian team.

R Ashwin played a total of 97 matches for Chennai Super Kings in his seven-year stay. In these games, he collected 90 wickets with a career economy of 6.93. Surprisingly, Ashwin never took more than three wickets while representing CSK. His best bowling figures for CSK are 3/16 which he achieved twice.

IPL 2015 proved to be Ashwin’s last season at CSK. After the franchise was suspended, Ashwin served the Pune team and is currently at the helm of Kings XI Punjab.
