Leading up to Mumbai Indians’ (MI) forthcoming encounter against Rajasthan Royals (RR)  in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, former MI captain Rohit Sharma grabbed headlines with a fascinating detail about his personal vehicle, Range Rover of INR 4 crores.. Set to face RR at Mumbai’s iconic Wankhede Stadium in the tournament’s 14th game on Monday (April 1), the five-time champions are braced for a crucial showdown.

Rohit Sharma’s special number plate

However the thing that caught everyone’s attention was Rohit’s car boasts a unique number plate: MHO 1E00 264. Intriguingly, the last three digits, 264, hold profound significance in Rohit’s cricketing journey. They symbolize his highest ODI score achieved against Sri Lanka in 2014.

In that unforgettable match, Rohit unleashed a breathtaking display of batting prowess, amassing an astonishing 33 boundaries and 8 maximums, catapulting India’s total to a formidable 404/5. Remarkably, Sri Lanka‘s final score of 251 paled in comparison to Rohit’s individual tally that day. His monumental innings etched his name in cricketing history, setting the record for the highest-ever individual ODI score – a remarkable feat he still holds almost a decade later.

Mumbai Indians journey in the IPL 2024 so far

Meanwhile, the ongoing IPL 2024 campaign has posed challenges for the newly appointed skipper, Hardik Pandya‘ side. Having faced defeat in both encounters against Gujarat Titans (GT) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), the five-time champions currently languish in the 10th spot in the IPL 2024 standings, with no points from two matches. As they gear up to face Rajasthan, led by Sanju Samson, Mumbai must regroup and bring their A-game to the Wankhede Stadium.

Rajasthan Royals challenge ahead

Under Samson’s leadership, Rajasthan have displayed impeccable form, securing victories in their previous encounters against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Delhi Capitals (DC). Nevertheless, facing Mumbai at their home ground presents a formidable challenge. To secure their third win of the season against the seasoned champions, Samson’s squad must maintain peak performance and execute their game plan flawlessly.
