Chennai rains: R Ashwin urges people not to panic but help others during flood

The flood situation in Chennai is only getting worse with each passing day, given the heavy rain the city has been facing over the last few days. Chennai-based India off-spinner faced some hardship while driving back home yesterday but urged residents not to panic.

"Just drove myself back home, there is water-logging in a few places. Don't panic just be kind to others and offer help.

#StaySafeChennai," Ashwin wrote to his 6.41 million Twitter followers. He had a message for the Chennai administrative authorities too."With the rains likely to continue, so much water logging already is not a great sign of preparedness. Let's not delay and least act now," added Ashwin.

Now that's a fine delivery!
