Former India cricket captain Rohit Sharma has made headlines once again, this time off the field with the purchase of a brand-new Tesla Model Y. Known for his passion for luxury cars, this latest addition follows his recent acquisition of a Lamborghini Urus SE, showcasing his taste for premium vehicles.
A Stylish New Addition
Videos circulating on social media show Sharma behind the wheel of his new Tesla, finished in the Quick Silver shade, one of the brand’s premium colour options. What caught fans’ attention was the car’s distinctive and customised registration number, “3015.” The number not only combines the birth dates of his children, daughter Samaira (Dec. 30) and son Ahaan (Nov. 15), but also carries a personal touch, subtly echoing his iconic cricket jersey number 45.
