Ravichandran Ashwin is reaching the peak of his cricket career but his efficiency as an off spinner has something to do with skipper Virat Kohli. He has picked up 409 Test wickets, but 281(more than half) has come under the captaincy of Virat Kohli. This has got to do something with the understanding between the two. Kohli has encouraged the Chennai cricketer and has tossed the ball to him on several occasions and Ashwin has obliged by getting him wickets. Even on the fifth day at WTC Final against New Zealand, Ashwin got him the breakthrough as NZ openers went on a run riot. He returned and picked up another wicket of Neil Wagner, registering figures of 2/28.
