Ravichandran Ashwin, who conjures images of nothing but class, brains, and skill has been an integral part of the Indian cricket team setup for the past ten years. While attracting a lot of attention in the longer format, the extent of contribution of Ashwin in the limited over’s format goes unnoticed. However, he has been equally effective in the 50-over version of the game and the best was demonstrated in several match-affecting knocks. Return for a closer look at what Ashwin has described as five of the most memorable ODIs of his career.

In the ICC Champions Trophy, Ashwin once again demonstrated why many people consider him as one of the smartest cricketers in the world. And, with these variation, and, what can be seen as their counterparts, pressure, pushing, and retrieving, at these decisive times, he dictated the pace of the match. Lasting images of one of the most successful tournaments in his career include the remaining calm under pressure and outclas of the visitors, which played an important role in the Ice star considered one of the true feelings in sport today.

Ravichandran Ashwin Vs ENG 2017
Ashwin bowled a tremendous over and what I loved was that he delivered in pressure situation. His tactic and variation and intense mind-set were useful in dismissing major talents such as Joe Root and Ben Stokes that distracted the opposing team. This performance placed the game on India’s side and solidified Ashwin’s status as a reliable match-saver in pressure conditions.
It may not be as glamorous as certain aspects of his test cricket adventures, but Ashwin’s one-day international performances have been important. That’s how Ashwin has turned the tide twice in this series: Taking the ball away from the batsmen at the most crucial juncture before turning villain and holding his nerve to make the breakthrough. These performances are a testament of his ability and his worth for Indian cricket as he signs off from ODIs. Ashwin for the future generation, truly a legend!!
