Recently, India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin had to pull out from the league to support his family during the pandemic. Now, Ashwin's wife Prithi Narayanan on Friday said her family has been through a "nightmare of a week" after as many as 10 members of the house tested positive for COVID-19. In a series of tweets, she shared he ordeal her family has faced after contracting the highly contagious virus. "Feeling ok enough to croak a tiny hi to all of you. 6 adults and 4 children ended up testing the same week, with our kids being the vehicles of transmission - the core of my family, all down with the virus in different homes/hospitals. Nightmare of a week. 1 of 3 parents back home," she tweeted.
"Take the vaccine. Give yourselves and your family the best chance to fight this. "I guess physical health will recover faster than mental health. Days 5-8 were the absolute worst for me. Everybody was there, offering help yet there's no one with you. Most isolating disease. Please do reach out and seek help. "The headaches this virus causes need their own Twitter thread. s"The 34-year-old Ashwin is contracted with the Delhi Capitals this season and hopes to return to the side "if things go in the right direction". A string of players decided to cut short their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 stints amidst rising COVID-19 cases in India.
