South Africa vs India 2018 : 5 players who can ensure India's first ever test series win against the Proteas

#4 Ravichandran Ashwin

Ashwin would be looking to prove his best spinner in the world tag

The last time Ashwin toured South Africa, it was a major low in his career. He was dropped from the side. However, since then the premier Indian off-spinner has come a long way. He has turned and twisted a lot of batsman in India, however, he might well be itching to prove that he has the ability to win games for India on alien tracks too. Ashwin should enjoy the bounce on the South African tracks. The more experienced Ashwin, being the thoughful bowler that he is, would be looking to find a way to trouble the South African batsmen more often than not. If he is able to break partnerships at regular intervals, that might prove to be the X-factor India needs.
