Indian cricketer Rohit Sharma is preparing to start a new chapter in his career on television. His new game show titled 'Family Full House With Rohit Sharma' will air on Sony TV, generating significant public interest. Within this show, Rohit plans to share stories that occurred on the cricket field. Recently, he spoke about an incident that took place during a match against the Australian team.
During the recording of the show, Rohit Sharma invited Manish Paul and former cricketer Shikhar Dhawan. The promotional clip for the episode features them discussing the Test series between Australia and India held in 2014–2015. Rohit recounted that during the game, while he was bowling, he had a dispute with Australian batsman Steve Smith. At that moment, Shikhar Dhawan supported him and took the initiative, demonstrating resolve, which caused the batsman to back down.
Rohit described the situation as follows: 'We were playing in Australia, I was bowling, and Steve Smith was batting. I approached the ball and put my defense on it. We appealed to the umpire, and he asked what kind of appeal it was? I explained to him a bit that you should focus on your game.' He continued: 'Then David Warner ran towards Steve Smith. But next to the boundary, there was a person who approached David Warner—that was Jaat Ji (Shikhar Dhawan). In situations like this, when a small confrontation arises and you need support, Shikhar never backs down.'
This promotional clip showcasing Rohit's show went viral. Some fans of Virat Kohli expressed dissatisfaction with this video. The reason is that the conflict Rohit mentioned is very well-known among cricket fans. A serious confrontation occurred between Virat Kohli and Steve Smith during this clash, when Kohli demanded that the Australian batsman adhere to acceptable boundaries.
Virat's fans are now actively spreading this clip on social media, calling Rohit a liar. They claim that the cricketer lied on national television. Opinions on this matter are divided: some have supported this view, while others believe it is just a promotion, and the true information will be revealed by Rohit during the actual episode.
The first episode of the show Family Full House will air on September 19 on Sony TV and Sony Liv. It will be a weekly show featuring prominent figures from the film and cricket worlds.
