Virat Kohli says he is now paranoid about his privacy after strangers allegedly filmed inside his hotel room while the India superstar was elsewhere.
Kohli took to social media on Monday to denounce the troubling video, in which a stranger walks through the room filming every step of the way.
A second person was also in the room when the video was shot, but the vision doesn't show their faces.
The video is labelled 'King Kohli's Hotel Room, and shows the star cricketer's neat and organised belongings.
It's unclear where the video was taken.
"I understand that fans get very happy and excited seeing their favourite players and get excited to meet them and I've always appreciated that," Kohli wrote to his 221 million followers on Instagram.
"But this video here is appalling and it's made me feel very paranoid about my privacy.
"If I cannot have privacy in my own hotel room, then where can I really expect any personal space at all??
"I'm NOT okay with this kind of fanaticism and absolute invasion of privacy. Please respect people's privacy and not treat them as a commodity for entertainment."
Kohli featured in India's five-wicket loss to South Africa in Perth on Sunday night.
The 33-year-old dropped a simple catch in the deep which cost his team dearly.
Aiden Markram was on 35 at the time, and he finished on 52 in a knock that proved crucial in helping South Africa chase down the victory target with just two balls to spare.
