‘nightmare of a week’
India off-spinner R Aswhin's wife Prithi Narayanan on Friday said her family has been through a “nightmare of a week” after as many as 10 members of the house tested positive for Covid-19. Days after her husband's pullout from the lucrative league, Prithi, in a series of tweets, shared the ordeal her family has faced after contracting the highly contagious virus. “Feeling ok enough to croak a tiny hi to all of you. 6 adults and 4 children ended up testing + the same week, with our kids being the vehicles of transmission — the core of my family, all down with the virus in different homes/hospitals. Nightmare of a week. 1 of 3 parents back home,” she tweeted.
