6. Ravichandran Ashwin
India’s ace off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin will play a key role in their chances during the 5 match test series against England. Last year, Ashwin played few County matches in England which will help in getting used to the conditions. He has played a total of 58 test matches and taken so far 316 wickets. With the bat, he has scored 2163 runs with the best score of 124.
Before coming to England, he gained confidence by picking wickets against Afghanistan. Apart from being a good bowler, R Ashwin is a decent lower order batsman who can provide vital runs. If the pitch helps the spinners, then he would be a handful and create havoc among England team.
His performances in 2014 series against England, he played only 2 test matches. During the 3 match test series against South Africa, he played only 1 test match and picked 5 wickets. He could not find a place in the playing XI during 1st and 3rd test match.
