Ravichandran Ashwin - 'Accidental Spinner' Who Became India Great

By AFP News December 18, 2024 • 14:21 PM View: 2196

Spinner Ravichandran Ashwin will go down as one of India's greatest players after retiring from international cricket on Wednesday aged 38. India's go-to bowler was central to their Test dominance in the last decade with his ability to outfox top batsmen.

Ashwin finished with 537 wickets in 106 Tests since his debut in 2011 against the West Indies in New Delhi.
