    What's the story

    Ravichandran Ashwin is among the most successful spinners in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL).

    Currently a part of the Rajasthan Royals squad, the veteran off-spinner has represented several other franchises in the past.

    Besides bowling several spectacular spells, Ashwin has also made some vital contributions with the bat.

    Here we decode his unique records in IPL.

    #1

    Fourth-best economy rate

    Ashwin, who currently owns 172 wickets in 204 games, is the joint-sixth highest wicket-taker in IPL history.

    His economy of 7.08 is the fourth-best among bowlers with a century of IPL scalps.

    As per ESPNcricinfo, the veteran offie is only behind Rashid Khan (6.72), Sunil Narine (6.74), and Harbhajan Singh (7.07).

    However, Ashwin took the fourth-most matches to complete 100 IPL scalps (111).

    #2

    Most powerplay wickets among spinners

    Ashwin is among the rare breed of spinners who have enjoyed operating in powerplay overs.

    His tally of 47 powerplay scalps in IPL is the most for any spinner by a distance. His economy rate in this phase reads 6.71.

    The next spinner on this list is Harbhajan, who owns 30 scalps in this phase.

    #3

    Most wickets at MA Chidambaram Stadium

    Ashwin played a lot of home games at the MA Chidambaram Stadium during his stay with Chennai Super Kings.

    His tally of 48 IPL scalps at Chepauk is still the most for any bowler at this venue.

    Ashwin's economy of 6.08 at this ground is the best among bowlers with 35-plus IPL scalps at a venue.

    #4

    Third-most wickets for a captain

    Ashwin led Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings) in the 2018 and 2019 seasons.

    His tally of 25 scalps during his tenure is still the third-most for any captain in IPL history.

    The offie is only behind legendary leg-spinners Shane Warne (57) and Anil Kumble (30).

    Meanwhile, Harbhajan is the next off-spinner on this list with 11 wickets.
