Calcutta: India captain Virat Kohli has urged people of Delhi to fight the pollution problem in the national capital.

In a short Twitter video with the hashtag #Delhi, we need to talk! #MujheFarakPadtaHai, Kohli said: "Hi guys! We all know what the situation of pollution is like in Delhi. I wanted to bring your attention towards it because a lot of people are debating as to what's causing it.

"But what are we actually doing about it? If we have to win this match against the pollution, we all have to come forward and fight against it."

Kohli, who hails from Delhi, further added: "It is our responsibility to reduce the pollution levels. Especially the people who live in Delhi, it's their responsibility."

Kohli urged the people of Delhi to use public transport or share their rides at least once a week if they want to see a difference in the current situation.

"I would urge people to share their rides whenever they can. I would urge them to use a bus, a metro, or use Ola Share if you can.

"This action if we do it once a week, it will make a massive difference. Every small step makes a difference. If you agree, like this post, share it and show your support," Kohli said.
