Indian footballer Sandesh Jhingan spoke on the introduction of the hydration breaks in the ongoing FIFA World Cup, saying that some regulations should be introduced to reduce their impact on a match.

Since the start of the tournament, viewers and players have been experiencing a new normal during the tournament, three minutes hydration breaks in each half, with the first break in the 22nd minute and the second in the 67th minute of the match. The breaks have been introduced to help players cope with extreme heat across North America.
