India captain Rohit Sharma expressed deep unease about the dangerously poor air quality in Mumbai and Delhi ahead of the Sri Lanka match on Thursday. With fog and smoke worsening the situation each winter, BCCI banned fireworks at the remaining games in Delhi and Mumbai. Rohit said the current conditions are "not ideal" and future generations should "live without fear." He expressed his optimism about authorities taking the necessary steps but added "It is not ideal and everyone knows it." India faces Sri Lanka in Mumbai on Thursday in a key match between the undefeated hosts and the struggling visitors for whom this would be a do-or-die match. Rohit highlighted the pressing concern over hazardous air plaguing major cricket-hosting cities this season, during the high-profile World Cup 2023 matches.
