Rohit Sharma expresses worry about poor air quality in Mumbai ahead of India vs Sri Lanka clash: 'In an ideal world...'

Hindustan Times  

Team India faces Sri Lanka in a key 2023 World Cup group match on Thursday; India are on an unbeaten run in the tournament so far – winning all of their six matches – and the odds remain heavily stacked against Sri Lanka as they meet in Mumbai, the same venue that played host to the 2011 World Cup final between the two teams. Rohit Sharma looks on during a practice session on the eve of their 2023 ICC World Cup match against Sri Lanka at the Wankhede Stadium However, ahead of the clash, the venue has drawn significant attention for the wrong reasons. There are several factors contributing to the worsening air quality and BCCI, swinging to action, has announced that it won't allow display of fireworks during the remaining World Cup games in Delhi and Mumbai. And the unease in his voice was palpable as India skipper Rohit Sharma expressed deep concern about the depleting air quality in Indian cities, saying the current situation is not ideal and it is important that future generations "get to live without fear".
