Mumbai Indians’ Rohit bats for ‘save the corals’

Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma is continuously taking up the causes related to nature as he bats now for saving oceans.

In Mumbai Indians’ third game against Sunrisers Hyderabad at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Rohit walked on the field with his specially designed shoes showing coral reefs and a message “Save the corals” written on it. This is the third time that Rohit has supported the cause in the ongoing 14th edition of the IPL.

The opening batsman said reefs are the heart and souls of our oceans. He further said that protecting our oceans means protecting our future. Taking to Twitter Rohit wrote, “Our reefs are the heart and souls of our oceans. Nothing makes me happier than a healthy reef. My love for the ocean cannot be put into words and saving it will forever be my cause.”

“I was afraid of the ocean at the start but as I learnt more about it and all the amazing marine life it houses and the massive role it plays for our survival, I fell in love instantly.”

“Even the tiniest change in our mindset, in our activities or in our understanding of what we can do to help will have a massive ripple effect on our environment. Protecting our oceans means protecting our future,” he added. Rohit was spotted wearing spikes with “Save the Rhinos” art in the very first match of IPL 2021. In the second game, he chose to raise awareness for a “Plastic Free Ocean”.

On Instagram, after Mumbai Indians’ match against RCB on April 9, Rohit talked about how making the world a better place is everyone’s responsibility and something that all need to work towards. —
