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!
