It took a long while for Ravichandran Ashwin to emerge from Harbhajan Singh’s shadows, just as it took Harbhajan a long while to emerge from Anil Kumble’s shadows. But Ashwin has over-shadowed them both and, at just 30, is still going great guns. He recently won the ICC Cricketer of the Year award, joining Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid, the only two other Indians who have achieved the feat so far. The tall, lanky and graceful off-spinner has also improved his batting so that he is now reckoned as an indispensable all-rounder in the Indian team. In his debut Test against the formidable West Indies, Ashwin took nine wickets to win the man-of-the-match award. Going from strength to strength, he clinched nine five-wicket hauls in his first 16 Tests, and in 2013 shattered Prasanna’s record for the fastest 100 Test wickets taken by an Indian, reaching the landmark in only his 18th Test. Ashwin’s carrom ball, a variation of the googly, has flummoxed batsmen around the world. In the just concluded home series against England, Ashwin got his 7th 10-wicket haul in his 43rd Test, bettered by only two other bowlers in Test history. Ganesha delves deep into his horoscope and predicts that after a rough patch from March-May 2017, he will hit a purple patch during September 2017 to March 2018.

He will continue to dominate batsmen till March 2017
