New Delhi: Mumbai Indians' skipper Rohit Sharma time and again has been making efforts both on and off the field to raise awareness among people about environmental issues. Rohit, who turned 35 today, was spotted sporting a unique design on his shoes when he took the field for the match against Rajasthan Royals on Saturday. The art on his shoes highlighted cause for 'End Plastic Waste' and 'Saving Marine Life'.
The remarkable design on Rohit Sharma's shoes showed a turtle swimming in the ocean, with the message 'End Plastic Waste' printed over it. This is not the first time Rohit has tried to raise awareness about environmental issues in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022.
Earlier taking to his Instagram, Rohit had shared pictures of the shoe with the message "The ocean is my happy place. It's a world like no other and it must be protected. One of the biggest threats to our ocean health is plastic! it is polluting our oceans and it's not just our marine life that's paying the price. Our well-being is HUGELY dependent on our oceans. No oceans, no human life. The smallest and most effective step you can take - Don't throw trash in the ocean and stop those around you from doing so."
Rohit wrote "Together with @adidasIndia we are here to take charge to create a sustainable planet. For every run I score in this year's IPL, @adidasIndia will pick up 10 plastic bottles from the beaches in Mumbai."
Rohit Sharma is celebrating his 35th birthday today. Rohit, the only batter in international cricket to score three double centuries (209, 264, and 208) in ODI cricket, was born on 30 April 1987 in Nagpur district of Maharashtra. As soon as MS Dhoni introduced him as an opener for team India in 2013, his career graph soared and he has currently become the captain of the national team across formats.
