Rohit Sharma's Family Full House gets record-breaking launch

Sony Sports Networks India’s (SPNI) newest entertainment property, Family Full House, with the start of Indian batter Rohit Sharma, has made a record-breaking debut across Sony Entertainment Television and Sony LIV, on which the show has registered the biggest-ever launch day for any property on the platform, following its premiere on September 19.

Rohit has started the new season on September 19, which is the same date when the Nagpur-born player made his debut for the blue brigade during a T20I clash against England at Kingsmead in Durban. He retired from the shortest format with 4231 runs at a strike rate of 140.89, with 32 fifties and five centuries.

Rohit’s humour and easy camaraderie have emerged as some of the massive talking points from the premiere. The response from the fans has been excellent, as its entertaining side has made it one of the biggest names in world cricket.

“The response to Family Full House with Rohit Sharma has been extraordinary. Rohit is one of the world’s finest cricketers and enjoys a very special connection with audiences. Through this show, they are discovering his humour, spontaneity and natural warmth in an entirely new setting.” Nachiket Pantvaidya, the chief content officer of Sony LIV, expressed.

“The record launch on Sony LIV, together with the scale of the conversation across television and social media, validates our belief in Rohit, the format and the power of bringing families together. This is a landmark beginning for a new SPNI property, and we believe the momentum will only grow from here.” He reflected.

Rohit Sharma set to return for India's ODI series against West Indies

Rohit has struggled immensely in the ODI format of the game for the last few series before he celebrated a vital century for India during the third encounter of the previous series against England at Lord’s, which shut down the door on his retirement rumours, which had been catching attention for a long time.

The former Indian captain, who has already retired from the T20Is and Tests, will shift his focus to the ODIs against West Indies, beginning on September 27 at Trivandrum. His aim remains on the 2027 ODI World Cup in South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Namibia.
