R Ashwin's performances in last 10 ODIs as off-spinner returns to India's squad after long time

R Ashwin has earned a recall in India's squad for the three-match ODI series against Australia

R Ashwin last played an ODI on January 21, 2022 against South Africa in Paarl where he went wicketless with the ball

R Ashwin's last 10 ODIs date back to January 15, 2017, as last year too, it was a sudden recall in the white-ball team for the veteran off-spinner

In the last 10 ODIs, R Ashwin has scored just 49 runs with the bat (in five innings he batted) and took 9 wickets but with a very high economy

Ashwin's performances in the ODIs have remained largely forgettable and hence he wasn't part of the team in the format for so long

Ashwin's economy has been on the higher side as his last 10 ODI tally also includes the forgettable Champions Trophy 2017 and he went wicketless in five of those ten matches

Ashwin's last 10 ODI figures read - 0/68, 1/53, 3/28, 1/47, 0/70, 0/54, 1/43, 0/60, 3/65 and 0/63

With Axar Patel injuring himself and the next best spin options being Washington Sundar and R Ashwin, Team India had to call up the veteran

R Ashwin is a much improved and mature bowler since he last played in the ODIs and will hope to apply all his experience, given this could be his last in the white-ball cricket in blue
