IPL 2021: R Ashwin might rejoin Delhi Capitals for last leg of tournament

IPL 2021: Off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin had taken a break from the ongoing season to be with his family who were affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. Ashwin has played 5 matches for Delhi this season.

India and Delhi Capitals off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin is likely to rejoin the team for the last leg of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021, scheduled to get underway later this month. Ashwin had taken a break from the ongoing season to be with his family and extended family members in the fight against Covid-19. From what I hear @ashwinravi99 might be back with @DelhiCapitals for the last leg. Things at home are better is what I hear. So glad if that’s the case and I wish him some respite mentally. It will be great to see him back. We need leaders like him. I guess physical health will recover faster than mental health. Days 5-8 were the absolute worst for me. Everybody was there, offering help yet there's no one with you. Most isolating disease. Please do reach out and seek help. Ashwin did not travel to Ahmedabad with the Delhi Capitals after the franchise completed their matches in the Chennai leg. Ashwin announced he was taking a break from IPL 2021 after DC's Super Over victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad on April 25. "I would be taking a break from this year's IPL from tomorrow. My family and extended family are putting up a fight against #COVID19 and I want to support them during these tough times," Ashwin had said, hours after the match against Sunrisers.
