The Bangladesh cricket team arrived in New Delhi for the 1st T20 International as the capital's pollution level peaks. Air quality in the capital has been hovering in the 'very poor' and 'severe' category since Diwali festivities. Former cricketer and now BJP MP Gautam Gambhir said that an alternate venue can be considered if pollution continues to remain high. Football star Sunil Chhetri also called the air quality in the capital alarming.
