Selfless Rohit Sharma Led Team India's ODI Revolution: Ashwin
The Statesman Bhubaneswar
|February 16, 2025
Hailing Rohit Sharma's selfless approach in one-day internationals, World Cup-winning former India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin said he's a big fan of the skipper, who he believes has set an example for the rest of the team in the 50-over format.
Ashwin lauded Rohit for his muted celebration after scoring a match-winning century in the second ODI against England in Cuttack on 9 February. Ashwin said Rohit is focused on the bigger picture in the lead-up to the Champions Trophy, which is why he downplayed the significance of his hundred, despite it coming after a long lean patch. Rohit smashed 119 off just 90 deliveries in India's successful chase of 305 against England in Cuttack, ending a nearly year-long wait for a three-figure score in international cricket. He silenced his critics with a free-flowing knock, leading India's aggressive batting display—a performance reminiscent of his approach in the 2023 ODI World Cup and the 2024 T20 World Cup.

Throttled city
PM2.5 can be generated within an already polluted atmosphere and this secondary formation is one of the most underestimated reasons for persistently high pollution levels in cities like Delhi. Even when direct emissions arereduced, polluted air rich in precursor gases such as sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, ammonia, and volatile organic compounds can chemically reactinthe atmosphere to form new fine particulate matter. Under conditions common to Delhi- high humidity, low wind speed, fog, and temperatureinversion~ these gases undergo complex photochemicaland aqueous-phasereactions, producingsecondary PM2.5 such as sulfates, nitrates, and organic aerosols
