India‘s remarkable campaign in the ongoing ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 has left fans in awe, as the Men in Blue have emerged victorious in every game they’ve played so far.
Their journey began in spectacular fashion on October 8, when they faced the formidable five-time ODI World Cup champions, Australia. In the thrilling match, India displayed their domination and determination, securing a stunning victory by six wickets.
As the Indian is facing off Bangladesh in their fourth encounter in the tournament at the MCA Stadium, Pune, Indian skipper Rohit Sharma became a center of discussion as the latter reportedly received three challans for over-speeding his car.
Rohit’s high-speed driving and challans
Rohit encountered a precarious situation on his way to the city as he received three traffic violation fines from the vigilant traffic police due to his excessive speeding on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway.
According to a Pune Mirror report, the 36-year-old cricketer was caught pushing the limits of his Lamborghini, consistently exceeding speeds of 200 kilometres per hour, with a peak speed of 215 kilometres per hour, during his journey from Mumbai to Pune, where he had to join his fellow teammates in preparation for the ongoing encounter.
Sources within the traffic police department expressed concern over the right-handed batter’s choice to drive at such high speeds on the highway. They recommended that he opt for a safer mode of travel, such as utilizing the team bus, which a police escort for added security would accompany.
