Amidst the challenging circumstances, Rohit Sharma and head coach Rahul Dravid played pivotal roles in Ashwin’s decision to leave the Test series temporarily. The skipper’s empathetic gesture became apparent when he urged Ashwin to prioritize family, saying, ‘You need to leave right away. Please just pack your bags and go.’
In an unexpected turn of events, Cheteshwar Pujara facilitated a chartered flight for Ashwin to Chennai, ensuring a swift return home. The compassionate act extended further as team physio Kamlesh Jain accompanied Ashwin, with regular check-ins from Rohit Sharma. Ashwin, deeply moved by this display of empathy, praised Rohit’s outstanding leadership and expressed his willingness to give his all for the captain on the field.
The Resilient Return: Ashwin’s Journey Back to the Team
Ashwin’s brief stay in Chennai, fueled by the positive news of his mother’s recovery, was made possible by another chartered flight arranged by BCCI secretary Jay Shah. Rejoining the team in Rajkot on day four, Ashwin played a crucial role as India secured a convincing victory by 434 runs, eventually winning the series 4-1 in Dharamsala.
Through adversity, the cricketer’s story unfolds not just as a testament to his resilience but as a tribute to the camaraderie within the Indian cricket team. Rohit Sharma’s compassionate leadership shines through, leaving an indelible mark on Ashwin’s heart and the cricketing world.
