Ravichandran Ashwin has come a long way in his career. He is now a perfect orthodox off-spinner. Though, he fiddled with the carom ball for a while but has now settled down as a mature and fairly experienced bowler who believes more in his stock delivery. Ashwin, nowadays, does not rely on his finger flicking delivery.

Instead, he has developed his stock ball to such an extent that it is fetching him most of the wickets. In the recently concluded T20I series against South Africa, Ashwin was the only bowler who was able to stop AB de Villiers. In fact, he dismissed him on both the occasions. His canny off breaks had put brakes to AB’s free hitting. Their face-off was widely anticipated for the ODI series. Ashwin has proved that he is not an easy bowler to hit (even without his magic deliveries) and AB de Villiers has surely got the taste of it.
