Rohit Sharma supports Ashwin's test withdrawal due to family medical emergency

India's cricket captain Rohit Sharma extended his support to veteran off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, who withdrew from the third Test against England due to a family medical emergency. Ashwin, who had to abruptly leave the team during Day 3, returned to play a pivotal role in India's remarkable 434-run victory over England on Day 4 in Rajkot. 

Rohit Sharma said that Ashwin made the right decision by pulling out of the third Test to be with his family. He also lauded the spinner for returning and contributing to the team's record-breaking victory on Day 4."When you lose your most experienced bowler, especially in the middle of the Test match, it's not easy. But everything aside, family comes first."

Speaking at the post-match press conference, Sharma praised Ashwin's contribution to the team despite the challenging circumstances. "When we heard the news, there was no second thought in our mind that he should do what he feels is right. He wanted to be with the family, which is an absolutely right thing to do and good on him to actually make a way and come here and be part of the team on this day as well.” Rohit Sharma added.
