Profile & Biography
M Ashwin, a legbreak bowler, finished the 2015-16 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy as Tamil Nadu's second-highest wicket-taker with 10 wickets, and a month later acquired a contract with Rising Pune Supergiants for INR 4.5 crores. In all, he was part of six franchises in the IPL.
His economy rate of 5.52 in the T20 tournament went a long way in securing him a spot with RPS. Ashwin's early years were spent at the cricket academy run by CS Suresh Kumar, the former Tamil Nadu batsman, before making the transition to the senior side on the back of strong performances for the state's Under-23s side.
Ashwin played seven first-class games and has also been a regular feature over the years as a net bowler for Chennai Super Kings. After ending his Tamil Nadu career as their leading wicket-taker in T20s, he represented Chandigarh and Jammu & Kashmir as a guest player in domestic cricket.
