“I am very excited with the fact that there are a couple of good spinners in my team," says Ashwin.

Looking at Ravichandran Ashwin’s different release points, angles, shapes, trajectories, occasional leg-breaks and strategies with spin, one may feel that there is nothing more to complete the package that he is; but he is eager to evolve.

He wants to learn a trick or two from youngster Varun Chakravarthy. “I am very excited with the fact that there are a couple of good spinners in my team. I am quite excited to have them. I have seen M. Ashwin very closely, he also plays in my league side in TNCA. I know Varun did well in the TNPL.

“It [their selection] covers one facet of the department concerning spin. It is something I can watch closely and mentor. I am looking forward to learning a few things from Varun,” he reasoned.

Ashwin’s hunger for success sets him apart. “IPL is a great opportunity. I really want to enjoy myself and excel in it.”
