IPL 2025: Ashwin returns to CSK, earns ₹9.75 crore
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.
