In an exclusive interview with the well-known journalist Vimal Kumar, the Indian batting icon criticized the shift from genuine and honest analysis of the game to sensationalism. Rohit pointed out how media coverage has now become about attracting more views and clickbait rather than meaningful discussions about the game itself.

'Just disappointing': Rohit Sharma on Indian commentators
He was particularly unhappy with TV commentary. Rohit signed off by saying, “These days, the way commentators speak on TV is just disappointing. When we go to Australia, their commentary is on a whole different level. It’s like night and day. Here, it feels like the goal is just to pick on a player and talk negatively about the player.”
On Wednesday, May 7, the 38-year-old cricketer bid farewell to Test cricket through an emotional Instagram story. He wrote, “Hello everyone, I would just like to share that I am retiring from Test cricket. It's been an absolute honor to represent my country in whites. Thank you for all the love and support over the years. I will continue to represent India in the ODI format.”
Rohit's decision comes after a poor home series against Bangladesh and New Zealand and then a horrific tour of Australia, where he crossed 50 just once and averaged 10.93 from 8 Test matches. He had missed the first and last Tests on that tour of Australia.
Rohit Sharma's Test career in numbers
He had already retired from T20I cricket after guiding India to ICC T20 World Cup 2024 triumph in June last year in the USA and Caribbean. However, he will continue representing India in ODI cricket, as he is aiming to play in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2027 in South Africa.
Rohit is currently playing for the Mumbai Indians in the ongoing IPL 2025, where his campaign has also been mixed with over 300 runs in 11 matches so far.
