Ravichandran Ashwin Biography
Ravichandran Ashwin followed the path of spin legend Anil Kumble in giving up a flourishing engineering career to pursue his cricketing passion. His early career has seen highs in glimpses but the true litmus test for sustenance is yet to be passed by this southern spinner.
He enjoyed a brilliant 2006-07 debut season with Tamil Nadu, scalping 31 wickets at an average under 20, but unfortunately missed a major part of the following season with a wrist injury. However, the off-spinner showed his mettle on comeback in 2008; first with the Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and then with stellar performances for Tamil Nadu with both bat and ball.
After having made it to the ODI team in early 2010, Ashwin didn't play. But with his exploits in IPL 3, he was awarded another chance and responded with a quick-fire 38 on debut against Sri Lanka. He also outshone Sri Lankan veteran Muttiah Muralidaran in the 2010 Twenty20 Champions League. After having performed brilliantly against the Kiwis, he was awarded a surprise entry into the 15-member Indian team for the 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup which has now been recorded in history books as India's second win on that stage since 1983.
His attacking mentality even when being hit for runs is a refreshing attitude in the age of T20. This along with his big-hitting lower down the order is also a handy asset. However, breaking into the side has proved tough and Ashwin's aim will now be to grab the opportunities - few though they may be- and use them to stamp his entry into the 'big league'.
