Joe Root blames rising pollution levels in Mumbai for his side's poor show in ODI World Cup 2023

Defending champions England are having a torrid run at ODI World Cup 2023 and Joe Root feels that poor air quality in India is one of the reasons for them underperforming.

Following England's loss to South Africa in Mumbai on Saturday, Root said that he has played in hotter conditions and more humid conditions but not anything like this before.

'It just felt like you couldn’t get your breath. It felt like eating the air. It was unique. Klaasen was struggling. Adil Rashid for gasping for air while he was walking back to his run-up. I do not know if it was poor air quality, but it felt like quite a hazy day,' he added.

Mumbai’s air quality dipped recently and the AQI was around 500, 10 times more than London’s.
