Team India captain Rohit Sharma was spotted driving his Lamborghini Urus on the streets of Mumbai. The veteran cricketer has a huge collection of luxury cars, but this blue Urus variant must have a special place in his heart because of its special number plate that reads '0264'.
Rohit and Co. have had a busy schedule so far this season. It started with a T20I series against Afghanistan, then a five-match Test series against England from January to March, followed by the Indian Premier League (IPL). The players then turned their attention to the T20 World Cup, in which they won their second title by defeating South Africa in the final.
Senior players including Rohit and Virat Kohli were given a short break during the Zimbabwe series. All returned to the squad during the tour of Sri Lanka, which consisted of a three-match T20I and ODI series. Although the Men in Blue managed to continue their success in the shorter format, they suffered a humiliating defeat in the 50 overs.

The opening batter made a special gesture by sticking his hand out of the car window to allow his fans to touch him.

What's behind the '0264' number plate?
264 is the highest individual score in ODI cricket. Rohit Sharma achieved this remarkable feat against Sri Lanka on November 13, 2014. Kolkata's Eden Gardens witnessed some terrific hitting from the right-hander who thrashed the Lankan bowlers without mercy.
His innings packed with 33 fours and 9 sixes, helped India to post a mammoth 404 on the board. Sri Lanka, in reply, were bundled out for 251 to hand the hosts a massive 153-run win. Rohit also holds the record for most double centuries (3) in ODIs.
