Mumbai: ‘Hitman’ Rohit Sharma (ROHIT SHARMA) is currently in the news not because of questions over his batting brilliance, his chances of making India’s 2027 ODI World Cup squad or whether he will retire, but because of his upcoming television show, which has become a talking point among both cricket and entertainment fans. Amid this buzz, a rumour has also surfaced that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) could impose a ban on Rohit over the TV show.
A social media post has even claimed that the BCCI has already started taking action against Rohit Sharma over his upcoming television show. The post alleges that Rohit has violated rules mentioned in his central contract with the BCCI and could consequently face a lifetime ban, preventing him from playing not only ODI cricket but also in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
However, the reality is completely different. There is no truth to these claims. Rohit Sharma, who has already retired from Test and T20 international cricket, has not been subjected to any such action, and there has been no official statement from the BCCI on the matter.
🚨 BCCI HAS DECIDED TO TAKE ACTION AGAINST ROHIT SHARMA
According to reports BCCI rules state that centrally contracted players cannot run their own shows while under contract. However Rohit Sharma allegedly decided to break this rule and started his own show.

Which TV Show Is Rohit Sharma Appearing In?
Rohit Sharma, who made his first-class debut in July 2006, his India ODI debut in June 2007, T20I debut in September 2007, Test debut in November 2013 and IPL debut in 2008, is now making his television debut.
He will be seen as the main personality and host of a popular television channel’s show, ‘Family Full House’. The programme will also feature several other cricketers and celebrities.
What Does the BCCI Contract Say?
The rumour suggests that Rohit Sharma has violated the terms of his central contract with the BCCI. However, according to available reports, there is no provision in the BCCI contract that prohibits an active international cricketer from anchoring a television show.
The BCCI does not directly impose such a restriction on its players. Cricketers are required to follow contractual rules concerning commercial activities, including endorsements, as well as their playing schedules. However, there is no indication that appearing or performing as a host on a television show by itself amounts to a breach of the contract.
