Indian cricket team's veteran spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has suddenly withdrawn from the ongoing third Test match against England in Rajkot due to a family medical emergency. Just a few hours before this, he had become the second Indian bowler after Anil Kumble to take 500 Test wickets. BCCI Vice President Rajiv Shukla took to social media to give another update about the incident and wrote that Ashwin's mother was facing a medical emergency. Rajeev Shukla said- I wish for the speedy recovery of Ashwin's mother. He will have to leave the Rajkot Test and go to Chennai to live with his mother.
