Team India's ODI and Test skipper Rohit Sharma was spotted roaming on the streets of Mumbai in his swanky Range Rover car. Rohit, who has been on a break since the conclusion of India's victorious T20 World Cup 2024 campaign, returned home ahead of his departure to Sri Lanka for a 3-match ODI series. Rohit was spotted with his wife Ritika Sajdeh and daughter Samaira in Mumbai as he looked to move on from the vacation mode and get back to cricketing duties.
As the shutterbugs captured Rohit roaming around in the city, it was his car's number that caught everyone's eye. Rohit's car number was the same as his highest score in ODI cricket, 00264. Here's the video:
