Hi, I'll be reviewing this article. This is my first review, and you seem to have more experience than me, so feel free to correct me if you think I'm making a mistake. Cheers! VK  wiki100  13:11, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks for taking up the review. Cheers! Magentic Manifestations (talk) 17:19, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

So, I'm reading the article now and listing down the points I think need attention.
 * - capitalize "tests" to "Tests".
 * Done Magentic Manifestations (talk) 17:19, 20 February 2024 (UTC)


 * - again capitalize tests and write it as "and the second highest overall." for better clarity.

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.
 * Agreed on the last part, combined early career with domestic as the section was barely a few lines. I am combining early and personal life sections as well. Will see if it can be expanded. On the prose part, would be helpful if you can cite a few instances as to what you are exactly referring to. Thanks! Magentic Manifestations (talk) 17:19, 20 February 2024 (UTC)


 * So, I've made some minor edits myself. Mainly, the issue was with continuity, as there were many instances where commas were missing. I also added pronouns in some places where 'Ashwin' was used redundantly. Now, the prose is clear and I believe it passes the prose criteria. VK   wiki100  06:19, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

Lead
Lead is suppose to be a summary of the article so where in the article it talks about this  and I also didn't found anything about this    in the article except lead. VK  wiki100  06:37, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

2010–11: Debut and early years
Unsourced? VK  wiki100  05:51, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

2011-12: Test debut and rise
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)

source for T20I figures? VK  wiki100  05:51, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Have added citations and references wherever indicated. Magentic Manifestations (talk) 11:36, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

2012-15: Middle years and consolidation
– 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)


 * Resolved. Magentic Manifestations (talk) 06:23, 6 March 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 ", and this one . 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: and here: and in this paragraph:  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:  So, my point is that there are no immediate sources for the verification of "series win" in many instances.

 * I have addressed the instances mentioned above and added sources for certain other instances as well wherever required! Magentic Manifestations (talk) 06:46, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

@Vkwiki100 The review is open for nearly a month now. Are you planning on completing it? Magentic Manifestations (talk) 15:13, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

Do not stop half way through and just leave it." Magentic Manifestations (talk) 03:49, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the delay in reviewing. I will get to it ASAP. I will be completing this review in the next few days VK   wiki100  05:46, 6 April 2024 (UTC)


 * In the section "IPL career," replace the source for the first line with this source, as the mentioned The Hindu article does not seem to mention Ashwin being picked by CSK in 2008. Additionally, the second line about Ashwin debuting for CSK in 2009 is not verified by the mentioned source; it only mentions that Ashwin's first season was in 2009. The same issue applies to the last line of the paragraph, as the source does not mention CSK at all.


 * In last paragraph - - Source about retention needed.


 * - source about RR reaching final?

I've read the entire article, and it appears to meet the criteria. I only found these instances above where a source is needed. Once you correct that, I'll pass it. VK  wiki100  06:34, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
