Top 5 right-arm off spinners with 200+ Test wickets

4) Ravichandran Ashwin (India) Wickets – 220

Ravichandran Ashwin has had an incredible rise up to the top

Ravichandran Ashwin has been on a remarkable run in Test cricket. In a fledgling Test career, he has already picked up 7 man-of-the-series trophies and is utterly dominant when bowling. He made his name in the IPL and his strong performances earned him a call-up to the national squad. He was a part of India’ s successful world cup campaign in 2011 but always found it tough to break into the Test setup. He earned his debut in November of 2011 against the West Indies and has been a permanent member since.

Ravichandran Ashwin is a deadly asset on the spin-friendly pitches in India, where he holds a remarkable record. He uses his height to his advantage and towers over other off-spinners. He has a number of variations and has a deadly doosra in his arsenal. He has excelled under the leadership of both Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Virat Kohli. Still only 30, he has a long way to go in his career.
