Saddened by the death and destruction caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, India’s senior off-spinner R Ashwin on Friday said he will do whatever he can in his capacity to help those battling the unprecedented crisis.

Ashwin said it is heartbreaking to see people’s sufferings in the wake of a deadly second wave that has ravaged the country. “Heart breaking to see what’s happening around my country! I am not in the healthcare fraternity, but my sincere gratitude to each of them. I would also like to make an earnest appeal to every Indian to exercise caution and stay safe,” Ashwin tweeted.
