India ODI and Test pacer Rohit Sharma recently grabbed attention in Mumbai as he drove his blue Lamborghini Urus, which features a special number plate. The video showing the special number plate of Rohit Sharma’s Lamborghini Urus has gone viral on social media platforms on the internet.
The 37-year-old opening batsman is spending quality time at home amid the five-week international break. The last time we saw him in action was during the three-match series against Sri Lanka where India suffered a 0-2 defeat. However, Rohit top-scored with 157 runs including two half-centuries.
The Mumbai batsman will be seen in action again during the two-match Test series against Bangladesh. India will take on Bangladesh in the first Test match at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai from September 19 to 23. The second Test match will be played at Green Park in Kanpur, starting from September 27.

Rohit Sharma scored 264 runs against Sri Lanka in 2014, which is the highest individual score in ODI cricket. The right-handed batsman is the only player to have scored three double centuries in the 50-over format in international cricket. He scored two double centuries against Sri Lanka and one against Australia.
Two years ago, Rohit bought the Lamborghini Urus for a whopping Rs 310 crore, which is powered by a 4-litre twin-turbo V8 engine that produces 657 bhp. The veteran Indian cricketer has a collection of luxury cars, which include the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Mercedes-Benz GLS, and Range Rover, among others.
Rohit Sharma rested from Duleep Trophy 2024
Rohit Sharma is now the highest-ranked Indian batsman in both ODIs and Tests. The batsman moved to No. 2 in the ODI rankings, replacing Shubman Gill. Sharma (No. 6) is also the highest-ranked Indian in Test cricket. Virat Kohli is fourth in ODIs and 10th in Tests, while Yashasvi Jaiswal is eighth in the Test rankings.
Rohit, Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah and R Ashwin have been exempted from the Duleep Trophy, which begins on September 5 in Bengaluru. The national selectors balanced experienced players and emerging talents in their team selections. Rohit and Kohli will return for India’s series against Bangladesh.
He is India’s second-highest run-scorer in the 2023-25 World Test Championship (WTC) cycle. He has scored 700 runs in nine Tests (16 innings), including three hundreds and three half-centuries. Sharma is behind young opening batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal, who scored 1,028 runs in nine Test matches in the cycle.
The Indian captain will be crucial for India in the upcoming five-match Border-Gavaskar Trophy, to be played in Australia later this year.
