Cameras are now recording every step: Rohit

Let better sense prevail: Rohit

Rohit's conversation with Abhishek had gone viral

Indian captain Rohit Sharma lashed out at Star Sports for an alleged breach in privacy. Rohit’s conversation with former Mumbai Indians (MI) player Dhawal Kulkarni was aired despite his request. “The lives of cricketers have become so intrusive that cameras are now recording every step and conversation we are having in privacy with our friends and colleagues, at training or on match days. Despite asking Star Sports to not record my conversation, it was and was also then played on air, which is a breach of privacy. The need to get exclusive content and focused only on views and engagement will one day break the trust between the fans, cricketers and cricket. Let better sense prevail,” he stated on the microblogging platform X (formerly known as Twitter).

Earlier, an interaction between Rohit Sharma and KKR Assistant Coach Abhishek Nayyar had gone viral as he had aired issues with regard to how the MI franchise has been functioning. “Ek ek cheez change ho raha hai… . Woh unke upar hai, main ye sab pe dhyaan nahi data…Jo bhi hai woh mera ghar hai bhai, woh temple jo hai na maine banwaya hai. (Everything is changing one by one. It depends on them, I don’t care about that. Whatever it is, it’s my home. It’s a temple that I’ve built),” Rohit said. Social media handle of KKR quickly deleted the video but it had already spread across the internet by then.
