In the section on Ashwin's performances in the IPL, the fact that he played with Chennai Super Kings for 4-6 seasons is completely missing, and that section only begins with mention of his playing for the Rising Pune Supergiants, followed by his stints with Punjab and Delhi. Knowledgeable Wikipedians may kindly add that part. Srirangam99 (talk) 11:11, 6 December 2021 (UTC)

So, I'm reading the article now and listing down the points I think need attention.
So, I've read the whole article, and while I found most of the prose to be clear, there are certain places where attention is needed. I can't list all of them here, so I want you to look at the article once again and do a sort of cleanup, although most of it is fine. I haven't looked at the references, which I'll do later. Regarding the coverage part, I'd say that the "Early life and education" section, "Personal life" section, and the "Domestic career" section might be expanded if there is enough content available as per WP:RS. Also, I suggest merging the "Early career" section with the "Domestic career" section.
Lead is suppose to be a summary of the article so where in the article it talks about this – "Widely regarded as one of the most prolific off spinners of all time" and I also didn't found anything about this – "is one of the only three players to have scored 3000 runs and taken 450 wickets in Tests. As of February 2024, Ashwin is the second highest-ranked bowler in the ICC men's player rankings and the highest rated Indian bowler ever in Tests" – in the article except lead .VK wiki100 06:37, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

"Ashwin played the fourth and fifth matches of India's tour of West Indies in June–July 2011, picking up just one wicket." – Unsourced? VK wiki100 05:51, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
"thus becoming only the third Indian to score a century and take a five-wicket haul in the same Test and the first since 1962." – source mentions that it is the first by an Indian since in 1962 but doesn't mention that he is third Indian to do so. You can use this list for reference of third indian. VK wiki100 05:51, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
" He had a quiet tour of Sri Lanka in July–August 2012, taking five wickets at 39.40 in the five-match ODI series and 1/22 in the one-off T20I." – source for T20I figures? VK wiki100 05:51, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
"with his match figures of 12/85, bettering S. Venkataraghavan's 12/152 for the best figures by an Indian bowler against New Zealand in Tests" – The source states that it is the best figures of an Indian against NZ but doesn't state that he bettered Venkataraghavan. This source would do. VK wiki100 04:17, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
"With nine wickets in six matches, Ashwin finished as the leading wicket-taker of the home ODI series against Australia in October–November 2013, which India won 3–2." – link is dead use this VK wiki100 04:17, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
I've checked the references up to this section, and it is well-referenced for the most part, but it lacks direct sources for many statements like "When England toured India in October 2011, Ashwin was the second-highest wicket-taker of the series, with ten wickets in a 5–0 victory.", and this one "India eventually lost the series 2–1 in which Ashwin managed to take only 14 wickets in the four Tests at an average of 52.64. However, he scored 243 runs, averaging 60.75, including two fifties, and finished as India's second best batsman of the series.". In both lines, there are sources stating Ashwin's record but not mentioning whether India won the series or not. The same thing applies here also: "With nine wickets in six matches, Ashwin finished as the leading wicket-taker of the home ODI series against Australia in October–November 2013, which India won 3–2." and here:"In early 2014, Ashwin's overseas struggles continued during the New Zealand tour, where he managed to bag a solitary wicket in the five-match ODI series, which India lost 4–0." and in this paragraph: "He played only two matches in the five Test series, scoring 40 and 46 not out but going wicketless in the fourth Test and taking three wickets in the last match, both of which ended in defeats. India won the ODI series that followed 3–1. with Ashwin taking seven wickets from four matches at an average of 24.85 and an economy rate of less than 4.5." There is no source for the test matches and for the ODI series win. Here also, the reference only states the record of the series: "India whitewashed Sri Lanka in a five-match ODI series in November 2014, in which Ashwin took 6 wickets to his name at 33.33." So, my point is that there are no immediate sources for the verification of "series win" in many instances. VK wiki100 04:17, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi All,
The Murali of Madras is an affectionate moniker afforded to ashwin draving comparisons to the greatest offspiner of all time, Muttiah Muralitharan akin to the Mozard of Madras afforded to Ar rAHMAN, https://media.licdn.com/dms/image/D5622AQFnu3bIRsux8Q/feedshare-shrink_800/0/1696157284639?e=2147483647&v=beta&t=xrK-yOtFNM6r7eV05ZKHJLG_QP_4Jb3v3kVJszaMqrY this is an example of a posted created and circulated containing the nickname as well as all over the internet. Would be disgraceful to remove it before someone hasn't heard it before. Quite frankly I haven't heard Lege, but i accept it. 161.69.71.25 (talk) 10:31, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
