Rohit’s 2 videos went viral
A few days ago, 2 videos of Rohit Sharma went viral. The first is from the match with KKR and the second from LSG. In the first video, Rohit and Abhishek Nair are talking. Rohit is heard telling the cameraman that his words should not be recorded, but this video was telecasted.
After the controversy over this, another video of Rohit went viral, in which he is standing with Dhawal Kulkarni and telling the cameraman that the previous video has impressed me. This video was also shown in the preparations before the match.
Rohit’s post… interference in cricketers’ lives increased, cameras at every step
The Indian captain wrote- ‘The lives of cricketers have become so intrusive that cameras are now recording our every move and conversation that we discuss with our friends and colleagues during training or in private on match days.
Despite asking Star Sports not to record my conversation, it was played on air, which is a violation of privacy. The need to seek exclusive content and focus on connecting ideas will one day break the trust between fans, cricketers and cricket… better understanding prevails.
Rohit Sharma expressed his displeasure through this post on Sunday.
