Rohit Sharma set to make TV debut amid retirement speculation

Rohit's move to television comes after a fresh round of speculation over his international future. The 39-year-old has already retired from T20Is and Test cricket but remains available for ODIs.

His future in the 50-over format came under the spotlight during India's recent ODI series against England. There was speculation that the third ODI at Lord's could be Rohit's final appearance for India after he managed only a modest contribution in the second game.

What Happened

Rohit responded in emphatic fashion at Lord's, smashing 138 off 110 balls. India, however, fell 27 runs short while chasing 388 and lost the three-match series 2-1.

• The century did little to end the questions over whether Rohit will be part of India's plans for the 2027 ODI World Cup.

• Sony TV has described Rohit's entry into television as the "Biggest Entertainment Debut", but has kept details of the show under wraps.

• He checks the camera angles and other details before signaling that he is ready to begin.

Key Details

In a new promo released on Monday and shared by Rohit on social media, he is seen preparing for his television debut.

• The teaser showed fans repeatedly asking Rohit to repeat the line, leaving the former India captain visibly frustrated before he eventually walked away.
