India captain Rohit Sharma was miffed by the broadcaster for claiming that his 30th ODI hundred in the third ODI against New Zealand was his first in “three years,” despite the fact that he had played only 12 50-over matches during that time for a variety of reasons.
The broadcaster for the India vs New Zealand ODI series flashed the information that it was the Indian captain’s first century since January 2020, as Rohit pulled away to the deep square in the third ODI match to reach his 30th ODI century. The statistic is accurate, but Rohit felt it did not paint the whole 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.
