India captain Rohit Sharma has been hit with three traffic challans for overspeeding on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway, according to a report in Pune Mirror.
The Hitman was on his way to join the India squad ahead of their ICC World Cup 2023 clash against Bangladesh in Pune.
The report further states that Rohit was driving at over 200 kmph in his Lamborghini Urus and even touched 215 kmph at times on the highway.
The 36-year-old Mumbai local received three online challans due to overspeeding. Rohit had bought the luxury SUV last year and paid upwards of ₹3 crore for it.
Rohit's Urus bears the same shade of blue colour as Team India's white-ball jersey. The car's number plate has 0264 as the last four digits which is also Rohit's highest individual score in ODI cricket, a world record which is yet to be broken.
Notably, Rohit and the Indian squad reached Pune on October 15. it remains unclear as to why the Indian skipper went to Mumbai from Pune just before an important match.
