IND vs SA: 'No cricket...AQI 411' - Tharoor’s stinging post after Lucknow T20I is lost to smog

The fourth T20I between India and South Africa in Lucknow was abandoned without a ball bowled due to persistent fog and poor air quality. Senior Congress leader Shashi Tharoor criticized the venue selection, highlighting the hazardous AQI and suggesting Thiruvananthapuram as a better alternative. Player welfare concerns were amplified as Hardik Pandya was seen wearing a mask during warm-ups.
