Recently I was in Delhi for a week, where the pollution levels had reduced, but the city didn’t exactly offer an oxygen bar. A week after the pollution levels reached hazardous levels, India cricket captain Virat Kohli through a tweet highlighted the need to fight pollution that had plagued the national capital. So when the Sri Lankan players wore masks on Sunday, a number of Team India supporters mocked them for disrupting play. However, let’s also take into account that on an average, a country like Sri Lanka does not witness AQI levels like the ones we have seen in Delhi. As a Mumbaikar, where pollution levels could be higher if it wasn’t for the sea, I struggled and returned with a throat infection.
