Veteran Indian off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin revealed how India skipper Rohit Sharma was a major helping force during his recent family distress.

After play ended on Day 2 during the 3rd England Test in Rajkot, Ashwin had to leave abruptly after he heard news that his mother was unwell. Notably, Ashwin had just reached his career milestone of 500 Test wickets and was expected to play a crucial role for India in the match.

However, the next day, Ashwin returned, courtesy of a chartered flight organized by the BCCI. 

Now, in a recent revelation, Ashwin narrated how the incident transpired and that none of it wouldn't have been possible without the help of skipper Rohit Sharma.

Speaking in a video on his YouTube channel, Ashwin said, "I just wanted to leave and see mom. I asked how she was and is she was conscious. The doctor told me that she was not in a condition to be seen. I started tearing up. I was searching for a flight but I couldn't get one. The Rajkot airport shuts down at 6pm and there was no flight after that. I didn't know what to do. Rohit and Rahul Dravid came to my room.
