Before the ODI World Cup 2023 encounter against Sri Lanka, on Tuesday, October 31, Team India skipper Rohit Sharma expressed concerns about the quality of the air in Mumbai. The seasoned leadoff hitter tweeted a photo of his jet on his official Instagram account, implying that the quality of the air was low.
For the past two weeks or so, Mumbai has been under scrutiny due to the bad quality of the air. Data from October 31st shows that the city’s total Air Quality Index (AQI), which takes into account gloomy sky, is 120. Joe Root, England’s best batsman, made headlines when he said that the smog in Mumbai during their match against South Africa was ‘like eating air’.
Meanwhile, India’s ambition of lifting the 2023 World Cup has been brilliantly led by Rohit Sharma and his team. The hosts have defeated England in their most recent match despite hitting a below-average 229 with the bat. They have won each of their six games quite handily.
On a challenging Lucknow pitch, Rohit Sharma’s crucial 87-run effort won him the Player of the Match title. Sri Lanka has been inconsistent, as evidenced by their crushing defeat against Afghanistan. India will therefore be overwhelming favourites going into the match on Thursday. History also exists since the two teams faced off in the 2011 World Cup final.
Rohit Sharma’s touching story for Matthew Perry
It was found that Matthew Perry, who gave Chandler Bing his unique personality, had passed away at home. The actor, who was well-known for his sharp comedy and perfect comic timing, tragically drowned in his jacuzzi. For those who had loved him throughout his extraordinary journey, it was a melancholy time.
Indian cricket skipper Rohit Sharma sent a heartfelt message on his Instagram account amid the mourning supporters and other celebs. To go with a photo of Matthew Perry, Rohit wrote a heartfelt statement that perfectly captured the influence Perry’s work has had on the entertainment industry. Many fans of “Friends” who grew up watching the show and were close friends with Chandler Bing found great resonance in this gesture.
