In an unexpected but heartwarming gesture, Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma was spotted making headlines for something off the cricket pitch. Just a few days ago, Rohit, known for his prowess on the field, was seen driving his luxurious Lamborghini Urus, a car that has become a signature for his taste in high-performance vehicles. This time, however, it wasn’t the speed or the car that grabbed attention but an act of kindness toward his fans.
In a video shared widely across social media platforms, most notably on X (formerly known as Twitter), Rohit Sharma stopped his Lamborghini on a busy street to wish one of his fans a happy birthday. This interaction, shared by a user named Rushiii, instantly went viral, amassing thousands of views and comments.
The clip captures Rohit seated in the driver’s seat of his Lamborghini Urus, looking as cool as ever. Fans can be heard thanking him for stopping. Then, a voice from the crowd informs him that a girl standing next to the car is celebrating her birthday. Without hesitation, Rohit extends his hand from the window and warmly wishes her a happy birthday. Even though the traffic behind him had started honking, signaling the need to move on, Rohit took the time to share this moment with his fans before driving off.
Rohit’s Lamborghini Urus, valued at around Rs 4.2 crore, is a statement of both luxury and power. The Lamborghini Urus is one of the fastest and most powerful SUVs in the world, boasting a 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine. This engine generates an impressive 650 PS and 850 Nm of torque, allowing the Urus to go from 0 to 100 kmph in just 3.6 seconds. Mated with an 8-speed ZF automatic transmission, the SUV perfectly balances raw power with the refinement expected from a Lamborghini.
Finished in a stunning Blu Eleos, a pearlescent blue shade, Rohit’s Urus also features customizations that reflect his personal style. Painted claddings and mouldings enhance the car's striking appearance. Inside, the cabin is a feast for the eyes, with a dual-tone black and red leather interior accented by gloss black trims. Every detail has been chosen to reflect elegance and performance, two qualities that resonate with Rohit both on and off the field.
This is not the first time Rohit has made headlines for driving his Lamborghini Urus. In fact, his love for speed landed him in a bit of trouble last year when he was caught speeding on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway. On two separate occasions, Rohit exceeded the speed limit of 105 kmph, with automated speed cameras capturing him at 117 kmph and 111 kmph. Although reports initially suggested that he was driving at speeds above 200 kmph, these claims were later debunked as clickbait.
Nevertheless, Rohit handled the situation professionally, promptly paying the fines, demonstrating that even cricketing legends aren’t exempt from following road safety rules. Despite this incident, Rohit’s love for high-performance vehicles, particularly his Lamborghini Urus, remains evident.
While the Lamborghini Urus might be the crown jewel in Rohit’s collection, it is far from the only luxurious vehicle he owns. The cricketer is known for his fondness for SUVs, and his garage boasts an impressive lineup.
One of Rohit’s more recent acquisitions is the Range Rover Autobiography LWB (Long Wheelbase). This luxury SUV is finished in a sleek Santorini Black and features a 3.0-litre inline-six diesel engine that delivers 346 bhp and a massive 700 Nm of torque. Paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and an advanced four-wheel-drive system, this SUV is built for comfort and performance. Rohit, ever the detail-oriented person, has opted to use the same registration number—264—on both his Lamborghini Urus and Range Rover Autobiography.
The number “264” holds special significance for the cricketer as it represents his record-breaking score during a match against Sri Lanka at Eden Gardens, Kolkata, on November 13, 2014. Rohit made cricket history by scoring 264 runs in just 173 balls, setting a benchmark that continues to stand tall.
Another prized possession in Rohit’s garage is the Mercedes-Benz GLS 400d, a luxury SUV that perfectly blends sophistication with power. Rohit’s GLS 400d is finished in a striking shade of Selenite Grey and features the registration number 4545. Powered by a 2.9-litre twin-turbocharged six-cylinder diesel engine, the GLS 400d generates 330 bhp and 700 Nm of torque, making it one of the most formidable SUVs on the road. Like his other vehicles, Rohit has opted for a high-performance model that offers both luxury and a thrilling driving experience.
Rohit Sharma’s interaction with his fans, coupled with his love for high-performance vehicles, showcases his multifaceted personality. On the field, he is a fierce competitor, a batsman whose records speak for themselves. Off the field, he is approachable and down-to-earth, as evidenced by his spontaneous gesture of wishing a fan a happy birthday in the middle of a busy street.
As a car enthusiast, Rohit’s collection is a testament to his love for speed, power, and luxury. From the Lamborghini Urus to the Range Rover Autobiography LWB and Mercedes-Benz GLS 400d, each car in his garage reflects a different aspect of his personality. While he may push the limits on the cricket field, his cars allow him to enjoy the thrill of speed on the open road.
Whether it's stopping to greet a fan or driving one of the most luxurious SUVs in the world, Rohit Sharma continues to make waves both on and off the cricket pitch. His genuine personality, combined with his love for speed and luxury, sets him apart as not just a cricketing icon but also a figure who resonates with fans across the globe.
