Rohit Sharma steps onto the small screen with ‘Family Full House’

After hanging up his Test and T20I boots, the Hitman isn’t quite ready to say goodbye to the limelight. At 39, Rohit Sharma is swapping the boundary rope for a studio mic, hosting a brand‑new family entertainment show called Family Full House with Rohit Sharma. It’s a move that has sparked a lot of chatter among cricket fans and TV‑junkies alike.

The premiere is slated for 19 September at 9:30 pm IST, and you can catch it on Sony Entertainment Television. If you’re more of a streaming‑person, the same episode will go live on the SonyLIV app at the same time – handy for those who can’t be glued to the TV set.

There’s a quirky bit of serendipity here: Rohit’s very first T20I appearance for India also happened on 19 September, back in 2007. It feels almost poetic that his TV debut lands on the same date, a neat little Easter egg for the die‑hard followers.

Short clips from the show have already been making the rounds on social media. In them, you can see the cricketer’s famed wit and cheeky banter, the kind that made him a favourite on the field. One of the promos even riffs on his infamous “garden” remark that was caught on a stump‑mic during a match – a nod that will surely earn a few knowing smiles.

The program isn’t just about Rohit chatting away; it brings in a few of his fellow cricketers. Shreyas Iyer, Shardul Thakur and Abhishek Nayar were recently asked to describe Rohit’s hosting style in a single word. Their answers? “Flawless”, “impressive” and “extraordinary”, respectively. The trio actually appeared in an episode alongside Bollywood actor Kunal Khemu, adding a dash of star‑power.

While the show is a fresh venture for Rohit, his cricketing credentials remain massive. He sits third on India’s all‑time ODI run‑scoring list with 11,895 runs from 288 matches – an average of 48.95 and a strike‑rate of 93.04. Only Sachin Tendulkar (18,426) and Virat Kohli (14,941) have more runs for India in the format, and globally he’s seventh overall, trailing legends like Kumar Sangakkara, Ricky Ponting and Sanath Jayasuriya.

Rohit’s impact on the Indian side goes beyond the numbers. He captained the side to a runners‑up finish at the 2023 World Cup, then led them to triumph at the 2024 T20 World Cup and the 2025 Champions Trophy. Whether on the pitch or now behind a microphone, his leadership and charisma continue to draw attention.

So, mark your calendars, set a reminder on SonyLIV, and get ready for a blend of cricket anecdotes, family fun and a whole lot of Rohit‑style humor. It’s a chance to see a cricketing great in a whole new light – and perhaps learn a thing or two about his life off the field.
