Ravi Ashwin IPL career summary: 187 wickets in 217 innings, 16-season legacy with Chennai Super Kings return in 2025 Ravi Ashwin, the veteran Indian off-spinner, has been a cornerstone of IPL bowling attacks since 2009, returning to Chennai Super Kings for the 2025 campaign. Across 16 seasons and 217 bowling innings, Ashwin has claimed 187 wickets, the most by any spinner in the tournament’s history. His economy rate of 7.2 runs per over remains stingy even in power-play heavy T20 cricket, while his strike rate of 25.19 balls per wicket underlines his ability to break partnerships at key moments. Ashwin’s mastery is reflected in 9 three-wicket hauls and a best of 4 for 34. Operating 4,710 balls and conceding 5,652 runs, he has consistently tied down batters while searching for breakthroughs. Despite a primary bowling role, Ashwin has contributed 833 runs at a strike rate of 118, including one fifty and 29 sixes—often swinging momentum with cameos down the order. Wearing the yellow of Chennai Super Kings in eight of his 16 seasons, Ashwin rejoined the franchise in 2025 after stints with Rajasthan Royals, Delhi Capitals and Punjab Kings, adding continuity to a career already rich in experience and silverware.
