Ravichandran Ashwin posted a rather seriously worded tweet which read “Looks grim! With all the hours of predicted rain”. The 37-year-old is set to fly with the Indian team to South Africa in a few weeks for the 2-match test series.

Chennai Super Kings fast bowler Matheesha Pathirana was heartbroken at the news that he saw. The 20-year-old had re-posted the situation that is being faced by Chennai which was carried by a local Sri Lankan channel.
Stay safe, my Chennai! The storm 🌪️ may be fierce, but our resilience is stronger. Better days are just around the corner. Take care, stay indoors, and look out for one another 💛💛💛 #yellove #ChennaiWeather #StaySafe #ChennaiRains #CycloneMichaung https://t.co/ovbsziy7gv

The entire city of Chennai is facing the wrath of Cyclone Michuang and the landfall is expected to be on Tuesday afternoon. So far the entire city has been facing bad weather with nonstop rains lashing the city.
Houses and apartment complexes have been flooded, while cars have been washed away. Waterlogging has been reported not only across the streets but also in airports making take-off difficult. The tweets from the favorite cricket stars might be the small tonic for a city struggling to keep itself safe.
