Star Indian spinner Ravichandran Ashwin is back to the campaign of Chennai Super Kings (CSK) after a decade. The selectors spent INR 9.75 crore to pick Ashwin to solidify CSK’s spin attack for the Indian Premier League (IPL) in 2025. Before this remarkable switch, he was seen with the Rajasthan Royals from IPL 2022, where the inaugural season winner played one more final against the Gujarat Titans. His active presence proved worthwhile for RR who got into the play-off stage in IPL 2024.
After making his remark in an international cricket off-spinner, Ashwin also went on to become a handy batter in the lower order over the years. He can provide breakthroughs in crucial moments of the match with the ball and can also produce some big hits with the bat in death overs.
