“Take the vaccine. Give yourselves and your family the best chance to fight this,” she added.
“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.”
On April, 26, Ashwin had tweeted that he is leaving the IPL for now as his family and extended family are putting up a fight against the virus.
“I would be taking a break from this years IPL from tomorrow. My family and extended family are putting up a fight against #COVID19 and I want to support them during these tough times. I expect to return to play if things go in the right direction. Thank you @DelhiCapitals,” he had posted.
Ashwin had pulled out after playing five matches in the tournament. He had picked up only one wicket.
The IPL 2021 has seen quite a few participants pulling off for various reasons. Liam Livingston, the Rajasthan Royals player, had left India citing bubble fatigue. RR’s Andrew Tye, RCB’s Adam Zampa and Kane Richardson too left the country due to the increasing cases.
Umpire Nitin Menon too left the tournament after his family members were affected.
