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. — Prithi Ashwin (@prithinarayanan) December 3, 2015

Heard from them. They are fine and safe. Good God. Thank you. I want to hug the person who came up with Whatsapp calls. — Prithi Ashwin (@prithinarayanan) December 3, 2015

It must have been a huge sigh of relief for Ravichandran Ashwin when the offspinner came to know that his parents are fine and safe in the rain-ravaged city Chennai. Ashwin's wife tweeted yesterday that they have not heard from his parents in over 24 hours. After an hour she tweeted again and confirmed they are safe.Ashwin, who is leading wicket-taker with 24 scalps in the series before fourth Test, scored a sixth Test fifty today and had vital 98-run stand for the eighth wicket with Ajinkya Rahane to help India post 334 on the board.Chennai has seen incessant rains for the past one week which flooded major parts of Tamil Nadu's capital and the lives came to standstill in the city. But two men from the city, Ashwin and Murali Vijay are on the national duty and currently playing the fourth Test against South Africa at Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium in New Delhi.
