Ravichandran Ashwin undeniably remains one of the best brains in cricket right now. The way Ashwin studies his opponents and devises strategies to beat them makes him an incredibly successful cricketer. But it’s not just his on-field heroics that make Ashwin a key player for his teams. In the Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL) 2023 auction, Ashwin also turned into a quarterback, helping Dindigul Dragons take their target players out of the bidding war.
When they saw Ashwin on the TNPL table, fans just couldn’t keep calm. In a short time, Ashwin’s photos from the auction room spread like wildfire on social media.

Ashwin, who has been one of India’s go-to bowlers so far in the two Test matches against Australia, has failed to weave his magic at the 22-yard strip. Ashwin and Jadeja bowled together to give India a 2-0 lead in the 4-match Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
Jadeja even broke into the top 10 of the ICC Test bowler rankings after his brilliant display in the first two Tests against Australia. The left arm bowler is the leading wicket taker in the Border-Gavaskar series with 17 wickets from the two Tests and galloped to ninth in the bowler rankings. Jadeja is the third Indian in the top 10 with Ravichandran Ashwin and Jasprit Bumrah being the other two.
Ashwin currently occupies second place with 40-year-old James Anderson on pole position. Given the momentum Ashwin is playing with in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Anderson’s spot on top is under threat from Ashwin.
