The former captain of the Indian cricket team, Rohit Sharma, has brought home a brand new Tesla Model Y. This makes him probably one of the first owners of the vehicle since its launch in the Indian market. Well-known for being an automobile enthusiast, this is the cricketer's second big purchase in recent months, following the performance-oriented Lamborghini Urus SE. The update was shared on social media with visuals of the cricketer getting in the driver's seat.
Based on the videos shared on social media, Rohit Sharma has chosen the Quick Silver colour of the electric car. Apart from that, it is also available with paint scheme options like Diamond Black, Pearl White Multi Coat, Ultra Red, Deep Blue Metallic, and Stealth Grey. Another unique thing about the car is its registration plate, which has a special number "3015", which represents the birth dates of his children (Daughter's DOB: December 30, Son's DOB: November 15).
