#3 Ravi Ashwin

Ravi Ashwin during India Nets Session

Indian off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has been in good form of late. He performed well during the recently concluded ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2021. The experienced player continued his fine run during the 1st T20I after the Kiwis. He picked up a couple of wickets and conceded just 23 runs during his four-overs spell.

He dismissed in-form batter Mark Chapman and also sent Glenn Phillips back to the pavilion for a duck. The 35-year-old is likely to continue his fine run in the T20I series against New Zealand.
