Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma has once again tried to give another awareness on environmental and sustainability issues. He has collaborated with many organizations which also included the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) to work towards the welfare of the environment as well. And, during the 14th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), he has started to attract the attention of people towards the environment by wearing shoes having messages related to the cause printed on them.

On Saturday, Mumbai took on Sunrisers Hyderabad at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. During the game, he was seen wearing the shoes where the message read ‘Save the Corals’. And, after the game, Rohit Sharma took to his official Instagram account to open up about the cause in brief.

“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 learned more about it and all the amazing marine life it houses and the massive role it plays in 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,” Rohit Sharma wrote.

Meanwhile, in the campaign-opener against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), he gave the message, ‘Save the Rhinos’. And, in the second against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), he requested to make oceans plastic-free as well.

“The other cause that’s extremely close to my heart. This one hits hard! This is a hundred percent in our control to reverse. I take my cause with me while I go out and do what I love! I walk out with my cause but it won’t end there, I need you guys to walk with me. Let’s get our oceans healthy again,” Rohit Sharma shared after MI vs KKR match.
