4. Ravichandran Ashwin – 5%

One of the most important cricketers in Indian cricket right now, Ravichandran Ashwin’s contribution is beyond description.

He bagged 5% of the votes and stood 4th in these rankings.

3. Chestershwar Pujara – 11%

Calm, composed and diligent, Cheteshwar Pujara continues to have a stellar impact on Indian cricket with his marathon knocks.
