Former India opener

Ashwin has impressive batting statistics in domestic cricket, with 5,221 runs in 156 first-class matches at an average of 28.06 and 1,346 runs in List A cricket at a strike rate of 77.35. Internationally, he has scored 184 runs in 19 T20I innings and 707 runs in 63 ODI innings.

Among his notable batting performances, Ashwin’s century in 2011 stands out. In a Test match against the West Indies, India was struggling at 331/6 when Ashwin, alongside Virat Kohli, delivered a crucial 103-run innings, helping India recover from a tough position.

While Ashwin is widely recognized for his bowling, particularly his variations, his achievements with the bat, like his maiden century in Mumbai, highlight the batting talent that was often underutilized by India in white-ball formats.
