R Ashwin:
The India off-spinner will miss the upcoming season owing to sports hernia. The ICC Player of the Year has been in a prolific run of form with the ball in recent months, playing a key role in India’s home Test season. During the marathon home period, he bowled 738.2 overs and picked up a record 82 wickets. A proven performer in the IPL, there is no doubt that he will be missed by Rising Pune Supergiant.
