Rohit Sharma slams IPL TV broadcaster for breach of privacy

Rohit said that the want and the need for exclusive content should not come at the risk of breaching people's privacy.

Senior MI batter and India captain Rohit Sharma has slammed the official broadcaster of the Indian Premier League Star Sports for breach of privacy. Sharma, taking to Twitter on Sunday (May 18), has slammed the broadcaster for following every step of a cricketer's life.

Sharma had recently had one of his videos go viral during the IPL 2024. In a chat with KKR assistant coach Abhishek Nayar, Rohit was heard talking about his future in Mumbai Indians.

A seldom outspoken Rohit on Sunday slammed the broadcaster. Rohit said that the want and the need for exclusive content should not come at the risk of breaching people's privacy.

"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," Rohit Sharma said on Twitter.

"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," concluded Sharma on his post.
