Mother's illness forces Ashwin to withdraw midway through 3rd Test

BCCI provided an update on the development but did not mention that the medical issue is related to Ashwin's mother. However, BCCI vice-president Rajeev Shukla posted on X that it's off-spinner's mother, who has fallen sick. On Day 2, Ashwin reached the milestone of 500 Test wickets when he dismissed England opener Zak Crawley.
