Mumbai Indians star Rohit Sharma gifts Lamborghini SUV to stunned cricket fantasy winner amidst IPL 2025
One lucky cricket fan had the biggest surprise of his life after Mumbai Indians legendary batsman Rohit Sharma gifted him his personal Lamborghini Urus SUV.
The lucky fan is a contest winner of the fantasy cricket platform Dream 11.
The MI veteran personally gifted the sports luxury SUV, which apparently costs north of ₹ 4 crore, and the video has since gone viral. Watch here:
Prior to the start of the Indian Premier League season 2025, Dream 11 ran a promotion ad campaign with many cricketers, including Sharma.
In one of those campaigns, 'Hitman', as Sharma is fondly known, promised his Lamborghini Urus SUV to one of the lucky winners of the cricket fantasty platform.
And the MI veteran kept his promise as he gave the keys to the swanky blue SUV to the stunned winner.
The SUV has a special number plate with the digita '264'. The numbers denote his highest ODI score, which he hit against Sri Lanka in 2013, and is also the highest individual ODI score till date.
The 38-year-old has not had the greatest of IPL campaigns from a personal point of view as he has been below his usual best.
In 11 innings in IPL 2025, Sharma has scored 300 runs at an average of 30 and a strike rate of 152.28.
However, MI have pulled strongly towards the business end of the league stage and currently sit fourth in the table with 14 points from 12 matches.
The five-time champions are well set to earn a playoff spot but they will have to beat fellow contender Delhi Capitals, who sit just a place below them in the standings with one lesser point from 12 matches.
MI face DC at the Wankhede Stadium on May 21, Wednesday, at 7:30 pm, in what will be a virtual quarterfinal.

Modi, BCCI express grief over RCB stampede; 11 feared dead
New Delhi/Bengaluru, June 4 (UNI) Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday expressed deep sorrow over the stampede outside the M Chinnaswamy Stadium here during Royal Challengers Bengaluru's IPL victory celebrations. "The mishap in Bengaluru is absolutely heartrending. In this tragic hour, my thoughts are with all those who have lost their loved ones. I pray that those who are injured have a speedy recovery," the Prime Minister said in a post on X. The stampede occurred when thousands of fans gathered outside the stadium in the city's central business district to catch a glimpse of their favourite players and the IPL trophy. A sudden surge in the crowd led to chaos and suffocation, resulting in multiple casualties. At least 11 people are feared dead and over 50 others injured. Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) Secretary Devajit Saikia said, "Organisers should have planned RCB's IPL-winning celebrations better.' He acknowledged the scale of the celebrations but pointed out a lack of adequate crowd control measures." Senior Congress leader and MLC BK Hariprasad also expressed anguish over the incident. "The incident in which more than 11 people, including women, died in a stampede during the RCB cricket team's victory parade in Bengaluru is extremely shocking and regrettable. The condition of some of the injured is serious, and the government should take immediate action to provide them with appropriate treatment," he said. However, the state government is yet to confirm the number of deaths in the stampede. Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar appealed for calm and said the exact number of casualties was still being ascertained. The BJP seized on the incident to mount a scathing attack on the Congress government. Karnataka BJP President Vijayendra Yediyurappa held the administration directly responsible, alleging that it rushed into organising the rally without proper planning and prioritised publicity over safety. "The state government must take full responsibility," Vijayendra said. "More than 11 people have died, and several others are in critical condition, some in the ICU. This tragedy is a direct result of the government's negligence." Vijayendra said he had spoken to one of the victims, who claimed there was no police presence or ambulance facility at the venue. "The injured had to rush themselves to Bowring Hospital," he said. Calling it a "serious lapse," Vijayendra demanded that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah take moral responsibility and refer the matter for a judicial inquiry. 'Let the CM decide who must be held accountable—but it must go before a judicial forum,' he asserted. The incident has sparked widespread public outrage and drawn scrutiny over the state's preparedness for a high-profile public event, with the discrepancy in casualty figures adding to the anxiety.
