Indian cricket captain Rohit Sharma has just rolled a brand-new, fire-red Lamborghini Urus SE into his Mumbai garage. But while the super SUV’s 800hp roar could stop traffic, it’s the small white digits on its license plate — 3015 — that really have people talking.
A Number That’s More Than Just Digits
It’s not a random pick. Rohit’s plate is stitched together from two of the most important dates in his life — December 30 and November 15 — his daughter Samaira’s and son Ahaan’s birthdays.
There’s a neat cricketing twist too. Add 30 and 15, and you get 45 — the number that’s been across Rohit’s back since he first pulled on India’s blue jersey.
The sentimental tie-in is something fans instantly spotted. Some even dug up photos of his old ride — a car carrying the plate “264” — which itself wasn’t an accident. That number marked his highest-ever ODI score, still a record.
From Record Score to Record Torque
The new Urus SE isn’t exactly modest. On paper, it reads like a sports car wearing SUV clothing. Under the hood sits a twin-turbo V8 hybrid producing a colossal 800 horsepower and 950Nm of torque.
It hits 0–100 km/h in just 3.4 seconds. That’s roughly the time it takes for Rohit to adjust his helmet between overs.
Even the ex-showroom price — Rs 4.57 crore — puts it in rare air. And this isn’t counting Mumbai’s road taxes or the custom number plate fee.
The Garage of a Cricket Captain
Rohit has never hidden his love for four wheels. Over the years, his garage has played host to everything from practical SUVs to head-turning sports cars.
Friends say he’s not just buying for status. He actually knows his cars — specs, performance, even small quirks.
His Lamborghini isn’t the first with a personalised touch, but it might be the most symbolic yet.
Why 3015 Stands Out in Cricket Circles
Some cricket veterans are calling it a subtle “family meets career” statement. The jersey number 45 has been part of Rohit’s identity for over a decade. Linking it to his kids’ birthdays blends personal pride with professional legacy.
This isn’t common in Indian cricket. Some players opt for lucky numbers, others for numerology. Rohit’s approach feels more grounded.
It’s like he’s turned the number plate into a miniature autobiography — birth dates, jersey pride, and a nod to his biggest career milestones.
Specs That Make the Urus SE a Beast
If you’re wondering what makes this SUV so pricey, here’s a quick breakdown:
-
Engine: Twin-turbo 4.0L V8 plug-in hybrid
-
Power: 800 hp
-
Torque: 950 Nm
-
0–100 km/h: 3.4 seconds
-
Top speed: Around 306 km/h
-
Drive: All-wheel with adaptive suspension
It’s more than just speed. The SE comes with a redesigned interior, a sharper infotainment system, and hybrid drive modes that let it switch between pure electric and full power.
A Look Back at His ‘264’ Days
The 264 plate on his earlier car was just as personal. Back in November 2014, Rohit smashed 264 against Sri Lanka in Kolkata — the highest ODI score ever. That match became a defining moment in his career.
So when fans saw him swap it for 3015, some joked it’s like moving from “career high” to “family high.”
There’s a quiet poetry in that shift — from a record no one’s broken to two little humans who’ve changed his life in bigger ways.
Celebrity Wheels in India — How Rohit Compares
In India’s celebrity garage league, Rohit’s new ride puts him alongside the likes of Virat Kohli’s Audi R8, MS Dhoni’s Hummer H2, and Hardik Pandya’s Lamborghini Huracán.
But unlike some peers who change cars every season, Rohit seems to pick models with staying power.
| Player | Notable Car | Estimated Price |
|---|---|---|
| Virat Kohli | Audi R8 LMX | Rs 2.97 crore |
| MS Dhoni | Hummer H2 | Rs 75 lakh |
| Hardik Pandya | Lamborghini Huracán EVO | Rs 3.73 crore |
| Rohit Sharma | Lamborghini Urus SE | Rs 4.57 crore |
Public Reaction — Fans Go All Sentimental
Social media lit up within hours of the first pictures surfacing. Twitter and Instagram comments ranged from “Best dad move ever” to “This is how you mix family and sport.”
Some pointed out how rare it is for an athlete to keep the same jersey number through such a long career. Others were just stunned at the price tag.
One fan summed it up: “Rohit’s car is faster than his T20 strike rate.”
Beyond Cricket and Cars
Rohit’s been in the spotlight for cricket and captaincy, but moments like this remind people he’s also a father who’s visibly proud of his role off the field.
It’s a reminder that behind every record-breaking athlete is a life full of small, personal milestones — some of which end up engraved in metal and rolling down the streets of Mumbai.
