New Delhi: Indian skipper Rohit Sharma left social media buzzing with a heartwarming gesture as he gifted his personal Lamborghini Urus to a lucky fantasy cricket winner. The 38-year-old stunned fans by parting with his signature blue luxury SUV, a familiar sight on the streets of Mumbai. The car’s iconic 264 number plate, which was a tribute to his record-breaking ODI score, made the moment even more special, as the emotional handover quickly went viral.
Rohit has often been spotted cruising in this very Lamborghini, but on Monday, it wasn’t Rohit behind the wheel instead, he was seen handing over the keys of the prized possession to a beaming fan, fulfilling what many believed was just a tongue-in-cheek line from a TV ad.

It all began with a promise
Before IPL 2025 began, Rohit Sharma appeared in a Dream11 commercial where he jokingly said that he would give away his own car to one lucky fan. In the ad he said, “22 March ko Dream 11 pe team banao, aur meri khudki gaadi jeetne ka mauka pao.” While many thought it was just promotional banter, Rohit stayed true to his words.
Fast forward to now, the same fantasy cricket winner was handed the keys to Rohit’s Lamborghini Urus, with the car parked in the background during the handover video. The surprise and joy on the fan’s face said it all, as this was no ordinary prize.
“bhaiya mil Gaya apko gadi akhir me, Dhyan rakhna iska”🥺😭❤️

A car that turned heads
The Lamborghini Urus isn’t just any car; rather, it’s a rare Italian beast that has become one of the most desired SUVs in the world. The car is famous for its sleek design and raw power. The Urus is priced around ₹4.18 crore in India, with top variants going well beyond ₹5 crore depending on specifications and state taxes.
The number plate, marked with “264,” is a tribute to his historic 264-run knock in ODIs, which is the highest individual score in the format. Whether it was its colour, its legacy, or the man behind the wheel, this car held sentimental value. For the lucky fan, this is more than a car as it holds a memory of a lifetime, a story to tell for generations, and a dream come true.
Rohit’s goodbye to Test cricket
While the generous act won hearts, it also came on the heels of Rohit Sharma announcing his retirement from Test cricket. After a celebrated career that spanned 67 matches which he scored over 4,300 runs, Rohit decided to step back from the red-ball format. His partner-in-crime, Virat Kohli, also announced his Test retirement ahead of India’s five-match Test series against England, marking the end of the Ro-Ko era.
