In a recent incident, Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma expressed his disappointment towards the IPL broadcasters for violating the privacy of cricketers. He stated that their conversations with friends and colleagues, whether during training or on match days, are being recorded and broadcasted without their consent.
Rohit also shared his frustration over a video that went viral, featuring him and Kolkata Knight Riders' assistant coach Abhishek Nayar. In the video, Rohit can be seen discussing his future at Mumbai Indians, which was a private conversation that was never meant to be shared with the public.
"The intrusion into our lives has become so extreme that cameras are now capturing every move and conversation we have with our loved ones. It's a breach of our privacy," Rohit expressed on social media.
He further added that despite his request to Star Sports, the audio of his conversation was still recorded and broadcasted, which is a clear violation of his privacy. He also raised concerns about the increasing focus on getting exclusive content and views, which could potentially damage the trust between fans, cricketers, and the game itself.
In a recent match against Kolkata Knight Riders, Rohit was seen making a plea to the broadcasters to turn off the audio while recording his conversation with Nayar. This incident happened after the audio of their previous chat was shared by KKR on their social media, causing controversy and speculations about Rohit leaving Mumbai Indians after the ongoing season.
In another incident, just a few days later, Rohit was caught on camera having a conversation with Dhawal Kulkarni before a match against Lucknow Super Giants. Realizing that he was being recorded, Rohit politely requested the broadcaster to turn off the audio as he had already faced trouble due to a previous audio clip.
The incident was once again brought to the attention of the public and went viral. However, the video was later taken down by the Knight Riders' social media team.
It is clear that the invasion of privacy has become a major concern for cricketers, and Rohit's words serve as a reminder to respect their personal space. Let us hope that better sense prevails and such incidents do not occur in the future, as it could harm the relationship between fans, cricketers, and the sport itself.
