Rohit Sharma Takes Aim At Broadcaster Over "First ODI Hundred In 3 Years" Stat

sports.ndtv.com

An annoyed Rohit Sharma slammed the broadcaster for showing his century in the third ODI against New Zealand was the first in "three years" as the skipper pointed out he hardly played any 50-over matches during the period due to various reasons.

As Rohit pulled away to deep square to get to his 30th ODI century in the third game against New Zealand on Tuesday, the broadcaster flashed the statistic that it was the Indian skipper's first ton since January 2020.

While the statistic is true, Rohit felt it did not convey the correct picture. "Regarding the first hundred in three years, I've played only 12 (17) ODIs in three years.

Three years sounds a lot," Rohit told reporters after the match. "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)," he added.
