Rohit Sharma is likely to return to competitive cricket with the ODI series against West Indies.
Rohit Sharma, one of India‘s most entertaining cricketers, has taken a significant new decision in his life. The former Indian captain has entered a new phase of his career with his television debut.
The former Indian captain has retired from two formats, thereby significantly reducing his workload. Right at the twilight of his career, Sharma is looking to engage in activities that will reveal a whole new side of his personality.
But his move into entertainment does not necessarily mean that he is stepping away from cricket. Surely this adds another layer to the ongoing uncertainty over his availability for India in the ODI format and his participation in the 2027 ODI World Cup.
Rohit Sharma’s entertainment venture
Catch Every Update, Anytime, Anywhere
Rohit Sharma is all set to make his television debut with Family Full House, a family entertainment show from Sony Pictures Networks India. The programme will premiere on September 19, 2026, on Sony Entertainment Television and Sony LIV.
Although the show’s format and details have not yet been revealed, Rohit has been confirmed as the host. Its promotional campaign has already drawn attention, including the recreation of the famous ‘garden’ comment from his captaincy days.
Is Rohit Sharma retiring from cricket after TV debut?
Sharma’s television debut should not be seen as a sign that he is immediately quitting his cricket career. However, this is certainly an indication that the experienced cricketer has realised he has reached the final phase of his career.
Rohit is expected to continue playing ODI cricket for India despite the new dimensions in his career. He has retired from the other two formats, but he actively plays ODI cricket for India and is also a part of the Mumbai Indians squad in the IPL.
Rohit also played a memorable innings in India’s previous ODI match at Lord’s, becoming the first Indian to score an ODI century at this famous venue. The veteran subsequently remained in contention for India’s plans ahead of the 2027 ODI World Cup.
It now seems that the television show is a new chapter in Rohit’s career, as the star is likely to manage two commitments simultaneously.
