The broadcasters should give the correct picture- Rohit Sharma
This was his 30th ton in ODIs for Rohit Sharma. He got to his hundred in the 26th over when India were batting in the first innings. He also equalled former Australia captain Ricky Ponting to join him in the third spot with the most hundreds in ODIs. The swashbuckling batter was happy when he got to the milestone and received generous applause from his teammates as well.
Rohit hit out at the official broadcaster Star Sports for putting out the stat saying that Rohit has registered an ODI hundred after a gap of three years and that also made the gap look longer than it was “Regarding the first hundred in three years, I’ve played only 12 (17) ODIs in three years. Three years sounds a lot,” The India skipper said after the third ODI concluded.
“You guys should know what’s happening. I know that it was shown on broadcast but kabhi kabhi woh cheez bhi dhyan dena chahiye, broadcaster ko bhi sahi cheez dikhana chahiye (the broadcasters should give the correct picture).” “As I said, there were no matches in 2020,” “Everyone was sitting at home because of COVID-19. We hardly played ODIs, I was injured so I played two Tests during that time, so you have to put all of that in perspective,” Rohit stated.
