Indian cricket star Rohit Sharma has spoken out against the growing intrusion into the private lives of cricketers, highlighting a concerning trend where every step and conversation is being recorded without consent. In a recent statement, Sharma revealed his frustration after discovering that his private conversations were recorded by cameras and later aired on television without his permission.
The incident reportedly occurred despite Sharma’s explicit request to Star Sports, a major broadcaster, to refrain from recording his conversations.
- Statement from Rohit Sharma
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.
Rohit Sharma "Please turn off the audio 🙏🙏"
