Indian cricket team captain and Mumbai Indians opener Rohit Sharma on Sunday lashed out at broadcasters Star Sports for intruding into his private space. Rohit Sharma alleged that Star Sports, which was the official television broadcaster of the IPL 2024 recorded his conversations even after it was asked not to.
The former Mumbai Indians captain let his displeasure known via X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday afternoon.
Rohit Sharma criticised the purposeful "breach of privacy" and warned the hunger for exclusives will result in the "break the trust" between multiple parties.
"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," the veteran opener's post on X read.
