Ravichandran Ashwin, the lead bowler for Indian cricket in the last few years, batted through much of yesterday, without having any information about his parents, who are stuck in Chennai floods.
R. Ashwin was playing for India in the fourth Test match between India and South Africa. While he was batting for India, his wife was Tweeting that his parents are still unnoticeable.
Thoughts with Ashwin, who is batting right now. We have not heard from his parents in over 24hours. I can only pray he keeps his strength.

However, Ashwin, displaying utmost professionalism and discharging his duties for the team, did not let it affect him, as he scored 56 valuable runs for the team. It was only much later that his wife Tweeted that Ashwin’s parents had been contacted through WhatsApp calls, and the situation was fine now.
Heard from them. They are fine and safe. Good God. Thank you. I want to hug the person who came up with Whatsapp calls.

Ashwin has been voicing his opinion about the Chennai floods on and off, and inviting people to contribute to the cause.
