Rohit Sharma reveals he bought a phone with his first cricket earnings

Indian star Rohit Sharma recently shared a glimpse into his early days in the sport, revealing that his very first purchase was a mobile phone. Instead of using his daily meal stipend for food, the Nagpur-born batter carefully saved the cash over time so he could regularly call his relatives while away on tour.

He noted that being out of touch during constant travel was difficult for him, making the device his initial personal investment. Later, when his maiden official payment arrived, he handed the complete sum directly to his household.

This personal reflection was shared during the premiere of Family Full House with Rohit Sharma. The weekend television program, which launched on September 19, 2026, marks his debut as a host on the screen. The broadcast follows the Fremantle-produced format globally recognized as Family Feud.
