R. Ashwin IPL Records and Stats
Ravichandran Ashwin, a native of Tamil Nadu, began his IPL career in 2008 with the Chennai Super Kings (CSK).
He gained fame in 2010 for his 'carrom ball', taking 13 wickets with an impressive economy of 6.10. CSK re-signed him for the 2011 season, where he took 20 wickets, helping them win back-to-back titles. He remained a key player for CSK until the team was suspended in 2016.
He then played for the Rising Pune Supergiants in 2016 before a hernia injury sidelined him in 2017. In 2018, Kings XI Punjab acquired him for ₹7.6 crore and appointed him captain, but the season was not successful for either the team or Ashwin, who took only 10 wickets.
He was then traded to the Delhi Capitals for the 2020 and 2021 seasons, but his performance was not particularly noteworthy.
The Rajasthan Royals acquired him in 2021 for ₹5 crore, where he partnered effectively with Yuzvendra Chahal as a defensive bowler. In the 2025 auction, Ashwin made a homecoming to CSK, who bought him for a significant ₹9.75 crore.
