Ravichandran Ashwin might be a top spinner in Tests, but his presence in the T20Is is limited. For instance, after 2016, the right-arm spinners have only played 11 T20I games. After 2017, Ashwin did not play a single match until 2021, when he was picked for the T20I World Cup 2021.

In IPL 2022, Ravichandran Ashwin was part of the Rajasthan Royals. He picked 12 wickets in 17 games at an average of 27.29. With the presence of Yuzvendra Chahal in the squad, Rajasthan Royals might opt to drop Ashwin to pick many more powerful spinners. Hence, Ashwin might be free to join other teams. Here we talk about 3 teams that can target Ravichandran Ashwin in IPL 2023.

Murugan Ashwin and Mayank Markande are the top spinners’ choices for the team, however, both of them are uncapped players and do not hold much experience. Some like Ravichandran Ashwin can be a big boost for the team in the spin department.
