The Indian cricket team recently secured their 8th Asia Cup title, and upon their return to India, some of the players were spotted leaving Mumbai Airport in their prestigious vehicles. Let’s take a look at the cars and SUVs owned by some of India’s cricket stars.
Virat Kohli, the brand ambassador of Audi, has an impressive collection of cars. Among them are the Audi e-Tron, e-Tron GT, Q8, Q7, A8, and R8. He also owns a Mercedes-Benz GLS 450 4MATIC, a luxurious seven-seater SUV powered by a 3.0-litre inline-six petrol engine.

Another cricketer, Shreyas Iyer, also shares a love for the Mercedes-AMG G63. His version of the SUV is in a lighter shade of silver and features the same 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 petrol engine, along with a four-wheel-drive system.
Rohit Sharma, the captain of the Indian cricket team, has added a silver Mercedes-Benz S 350d to his collection. This diesel-powered version of the flagship S-Class is powered by a 3.0-litre inline-six diesel engine, producing 285 PS of power and 600 Nm of torque.
