Sarfaraz Khan The reason for wearing a mask is because of construction work.

Musheer Khan and Himanshu Singh were also seen wearing masks. Let us tell you that AQI of Mumbai is also more than 150 which is quite high.
Thanks to non-strop construction work in the commercial hub where the match is being held, the venue has become quite dusty.
