Cricketers often give fans something to cheer about on the field. But what Mumbai Indians' Rohit Sharma did off the field might be one of the biggest surprises.
The veteran Indian opener has handed over his beloved Lamborghini Urus to a lucky fan and kept a light-hearted promise that began as part of a viral ad.

What did Rohit Sharma promise?
Before IPL 2025 began, Rohit Sharma starred in a fantasy cricket campaign, jokingly offering his luxury car to the winner of the Dream11 contest in a TV commercial. Fans had a good laugh, but many weren’t sure if it would ever become real.
Fast forward to May 19, and Rohit actually made good on that promise. A viral video captured the Indian star handing over the keys to his own car- the same blue Lamborghini that’s been spotted around Mumbai several times, proudly carrying the number plate ‘264’.
This car has featured in countless fan videos and photos and was almost like an extension of Rohit’s on-field legacy.
