Sharma spoke with The Indian Express earlier today, where he disclosed that he has stayed away from social media platforms like Instagram and X for the last nine months to remain focused on the World Cup. The Hitman mentioned that all the photos and videos shared on his profile had been done by his wife Ritika Sajdeh.

"I don't have Twitter or Instagram on my phone for the past 9 months - if we have to do any commercial post, my wife handles it - these are distractions - it's waste of time & energy - so I have decided not to have it on my phone because if it's there - I will watch it," said Sharma.

Rohit Sharma will speak with the media at the captains' meet event in Ahmedabad. The live streaming will be available on Star Sports' YouTube channel.
