Rohit Sharma to Make Television Debut, Sony Announces

Former Indian cricket captain Rohit Sharma is set to make his television debut, Sony Entertainment Television and Sony LIV announced Friday. A teaser released the same day confirmed his entry into broadcast entertainment, though the show's title and format have not yet been disclosed.

Sharma, widely regarded as one of India's most successful cricketers, is currently playing for Mumbai Indians in IPL 2026. He has scored 221 runs in five matches this season at a strike rate of 174.01, including two half-centuries.

He retired from T20 Internationals after captaining India to victory in the 2024 T20 World Cup and stepped down from Test cricket after 67 matches. With 11,577 ODI runs and a world-record 264, he remains active in the 50-over format ahead of the 2027 World Cup.

Known for his on-field charisma and media-friendly demeanor, Sharma's move into television aligns with his growing presence beyond sports. Sony is expected to reveal full details of the show in the coming days.

The network will officially announce the program's title and broadcast schedule next week, according to production sources.
