Rohit’s luxury car collection and IPL giveaway
Rohit has long been a lover of luxurious and powerful vehicles. Before his Tesla, he was often seen in his iconic blue Lamborghini Urus with the registration number ‘264’, a nod to his world record ODI score of 264 runs. This prized Lamborghini, worth nearly ₹4 crore, was given away to a lucky winner of a fantasy cricket match earlier in 2025, fulfilling a promise humorously made during an IPL Dream11 ad campaign. Rohit’s garage also includes other luxury cars such as the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, BMW 7 Series, Audi Q7 and Range Rover. Rohit’s new Tesla is known for adding personal touches to his vehicles and continues this trend with the special license plate that connects his family to his love for cars.
Looking ahead, Rohit is expected to be part of the upcoming India tour Australia from October 19, 2025, where the team will play three ODIs. This tour marks an important phase for Rohit as a teammate Virat Kohli returns to international cricket after a break, leading the team Shubman Gill. Rohit’s off-field style, exemplified by his impressive car collection and latest Tesla purchase, contributes to his status as a modern sporting icon combining performance, durability and panache.
