R ASHWIN
Tamil Nadu off-spinner R Ashwin has been often called one of the most intelligent cricketers in the world today. He analyses the game to minute details and is known to plan his strategies well in advance on how to get batsmen out.
Ashwin was named the Punjab Kings captain and led the franchise in two seasons, and though the team failed to make it into the playoffs both seasons, Ashwin was praised for his captaincy and player management. He has recently made a comeback into India's 2021 T20 World Cup squad and can be an out-of-the-box option to lead India in the shortest format of the game.
