So upset with Rohit with the observation that he bluntly slammed the broadcaster by saying ‘they should show the right things’: Follow India NewZealand T20 Series LIVE updates with InsideSport.IN
What exactly upset Rohit?
BCCI’s official broadcaster Star Sports showcased Rohit’s 85-ball 101 in the third ODI against New Zealand at the Holkar Stadium on Tuesday as his first in this format in three years. This rather accurate observation by Star attracted flak from India captain who requested them to show the ‘right things’.
When asked about the gap between his 29th and 30th ODI century, a clearly irate Rohit during the Press Conference responded, “Regarding the first hundred in three years, I’ve played only 12 ODIs in three years, so three years sounds like a lot.”
Veteran Opener’s 29th century in ODIs came in January 2020 against Australia.
Rohit shot back when the journalist clarified that it wasn’t a criticism of him.
India captain said: “You guys should know what’s happening. I know that it was shown on the broadcast, sometimes, you (the broadcasters) need to show the right things also. The last entire year, we didn’t play ODI cricket, we focused on T20 cricket a lot. So, sometimes, people should keep things in mind…the broadcasters should show the right things.”

With a fantastic performance in Indore on Tuesday, India captain Rohit Sharma snapped his ODI century drought. In the third and final ODI played at the Holkar Stadium, the opener hit 101 off 78 with the help of 13 fours and five sixes, marking his 30th such total in the format.
With that century, Rohit also tied Australia icon Ricky Ponting’s record of 30 ODI tons. Sachin Tendulkar (49) and Virat Kohli (46) are the only batters now ahead of Rohit Sharma in the all-time list of ODI century-makers.
