South African cricket legend Jonty Rhodes has expressed concern over Delhi’s worsening air pollution, describing the city’s toxic air as “hard to digest.” Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Rhodes compared the capital’s poor air quality with the clean and fresh air of Goa, where he currently resides.
Rhodes shared that while passing through Delhi en route via Ranchi, he was reminded of how fortunate he felt to live in a small fishing village in South Goa. Using the hashtags #AQI and #whats2Bdone, the former cricketer drew attention to the urgent need for solutions to India’s growing air pollution crisis.
