Rohit Sharma Slams Cricket Broadcasters On 'Invasion Of Privacy'

Indian cricketer, Rohit Sharma voiced his concerns over the invasive nature of media coverage, particularly in the realm of cricket. The Mumbai Indians' skipper took to social media to express his dismay over the breach of privacy, shedding light on the ever-watchful eyes of cameras that seem to leave no corner untouched, even in moments of personal interaction.

In a statement posted on his social media handle of X, Sharma stated, "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."

Sharma's remarks come at a crucial juncture amidst the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, where he is currently leading the Mumbai Indians.
