In a heartwarming gesture that has captured the attention of cricket fans nationwide, Indian cricket captain Rohit Sharma handed over his prized blue Lamborghini Urus to Dream11 contest winner Yuvraj Wagh. The handover took place during a promotional event, where Sharma personally presented the keys to Wagh, who had topped the Dream11 charts in a recent IPL 2025 contest.
The Lamborghini Urus, bearing the distinctive '0264' number plate—a nod to Sharma's record-breaking 264-run innings against Sri Lanka in 2014—has been a symbol of his illustrious career. In a light-hearted moment during the event, Sharma asked Wagh, "Konala Captain kela hota?" (Whom did you make the captain?), to which Wagh replied, "Sunil Narine." This exchange highlighted the strategic choices fantasy cricket players make, and the role they play in such contests.
Rohit Sharma's decision to part with his cherished vehicle reflects his commitment to engaging with fans and promoting the sport. Such initiatives bridge the gap between players and supporters, fostering a sense of community and shared passion for cricket.
As the IPL 2025 season progresses, moments like these add a personal touch to the tournament, reminding fans of the human stories behind the game.
