His nick name is Dada. Ashwin is a right handed bowler and a right handed batsman. He has not yet played a test match for India. His one day debut was against Sri Lanka on 5th June 2010.
Ravichandran Ashwin Who is popularly known as R. Ashwin came to fame during 2010 IPL when M.S. Dhoni threw him the ball to bowl in power play overs. He showed tremendous nerve and not only contained the flow of runs but also took crucial wickets. He was also the highest wicket taker in Champions league T20 2010 where Chennai Super kings won. Since then he has never looked back. Currently he is a member of Indian national cricket team, and also Tamilnadu cricket team. He is a right-handed batsman and right arm off-break bowler.
A tall offspinner who bowls with a high-arm action and is studying to be an engineer, R Ashwin has some uncanny similarities with S Venkataraghavan, but for the moment the comparison should end there. Ashwin is taking his first steps in Ranji Trophy cricket. He made big strides in his debut season in 2006-07, leading the wickets tally for Tamil Nadu with 31 scalps at under 20. He was impressive the following the season with both bat and ball before a wrist injury unfortunately forced him out for four weeks in the middle of the season. He later made it to the Chennai Super Kings squad in the inaugural Indian Premier League. Ashwin continued to perform consistently at the domestic level, earning a Grade D contract by the BCCI, and under his captaincy Tamil Nadu were crowned Indian domestic one-day champions in 2009. He earned his first call-up for India, for the home ODIs against South Africa in early 2010, after Harbhajan Singh opted out of the first couple of games due to personal commitments. He was a revelation in the IPL with his miserly spells with the new ball, conceding only 6.10 runs per over and taking 13 wickets. He followed that with a near-spotless performance in the 2010 Champions League where his Man-of-the-Series performance helped Chennai lift the big prize. Ashwin's growing confidence and widening repertoire of tricks will keep him in the frame for a consistent run for India in the shorter formats.
Later, in that month he was selected in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 squad to represent India along with the spinners Harbhajan Singh and Piyush Chawla. He played 2 matches for India in that series. He made his World Cup debut on 20 March 2011 against the West Indies with bowling figures of 10-0-41-2. He played his second world cup match against Australia in the second quarter final at Ahmadabad (10-1-52-2).In November, 2011, he made his Test debut along with Umesh Yadav against West Indies with impressive figures of 27-4-81-3 in the 1st innings and 21.3-5-47-6 in the 2nd innings. His magical spell of 9 wickets is the second best by an Indian test cricketer on debut after Narendra Hirwani. He was also awarded the Man of the Match (MoM) on debut for his bowling exploits, only the third Indian cricketer after Pravin Amre and R.P. Singh to do so.
