Watch: Video of cricket match amid dense fog in Delhi goes viral
Video of a cricket match amidt the dense fog in Delhi has gone viral around the social media platform where a bunch of cricketers are seen to be enjoying the game even without seeing the bowler and the fielders.
The air pollution in India’s capital, Delhi, has gone up by leaps and bounds over the last few years, and that has resulted in dense fog in the winter season. But how can a cricket match stop for it? A video has gone viral of such an incident where a cricket match was seen being played amidst the dense fog as the players wear jumpers and big jackets to keep them warm.
In the video coming from Delhi, the batter has been seen to be smashing the left-arm spinner for a massive boundary. But it’s hard to fathom the bowler, who is lost in the dense fog. Even the fielders are hard to see with only two dim lights that can be displayed from a far stage. It’s expected to be a local game.

Even during an international Test match in 2017 between India and Sri Lanka, at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, such an incident took place where the touring players started to cough in the polluted air and used the masks on their faces, which saw the then Indian captain, Virat Kohli, declare and decide to bowl against the visiting side.

In terms of the Delhi Capitals in the IPL 2026 auction, they entered the auction with a purse of INR 21.8 crore and have got a settled XI already, along with their impact player. At the top, they got two foreign opening batters, Pathum Nissanka and Ben Duckett, with the batter looking more possible to open with KL Rahul.
Even in the bowling group, they added Lungi Ngidi and Kyle Jamieson to partner with Mitchell Starc, along with already signed pacer Mitchell Starc. David Miller also came into the franchise to join his Protea match, Tristan Stubbs. Capitals perhaps left the auction as the winner of the evening.
