Former Indian cricket skipper Rohit Sharma is making his television debut in the entertainment sector with a new show, 'Family Full House with Rohit Sharma'. The makers have been teasing fans with interesting promos for the last few months and finally the wait is over. The makers announced the show's title on Monday, along with the premiere date. 'Family Full House' is slated to premiere on 19th September 2026. In the announcement promo, Rohit Sharma is seen meeting fans who request the Indian captain to repeat his famous "garden" and "gully cricket" lines. Rohit, visibly troubled, says, "Do line kya bol di, itna viral ho gaya. Jab mera pura show aayega to kya hoga (I spoke just two lines and it went so viral. What will happen when my entire show comes out)?" In an earlier promo released in May, the makers had used Rohit's viral "garden" dialogue. In the video, he was seen shouting, "Koi bhi garden mein nahi ghumega (Nobody will stroll in the garden)." Cricket lovers are eagerly waiting to see whether the 39-year-old player will be part of the 2027 World Cup. During his recent tour to England, it was speculated that the series decider would be Rohit's last international match for the country.
