The Indian cricket team is all set to lock their horns with the Bangladesh cricket team in the first of the three T20Is on November 3 in Delhi. However, the pollution level in the national capital continues to hog all the limelight.
From some time, the air quality in Delhi has reached a toxic level now and the overall air quality index (AQI) crossed the 400 marks on Wednesday, raising everyone’s eyebrows.
There are also concerns about the players being exposed to the polluted air while playing the game. And for the same reason, ever since the venue of the match was announced, the air quality in Delhi became one of the most discussed topics and thus the excitement level for the game among the fans is very low.

Meanwhile, Gautam Gambhir, the cricketer turned politician tried to use the opportunity to take another shot at his political rivals AAP. Gautam Gambhir, who won the elections from East Delhi earlier this year, has never shied away from speaking his heart and when it comes to politics, he has never shied away from criticizing AAP.
Gautam Gambhir once again did the same as he took to his twitter and posted a clip of Bangladesh players and staff training on the field while wearing masks. Taking a dig at AAP, Gautam Gambhir wrote:
“क्या यही है…”AAP” की दिल्ली ?”

However, his tweet didn’t go down well with the fans who slammed him for politicizing the issue. Here, check out the reactions of twitterati:
Dear Gautam, yeh Delhi AAP ki, meri aur hum sab ki hai. It’s nt the time to criticise anyone rather look fr the solution. See wht u and we can do to combat this problem.

Agree there is AAP govt in Delhi n they re not capable enough to control air pollution but as MP of central govt why dnt you take step in solving this issue. Including PM,President n other party leaders are in Delhi. Why no necessary measures?? It’s shame in front of Bangla team.
