Rohit Sharma reportedly drove from Mumbai to Pune in his Lamborgini at speeds upto 215 kmph and got 3 challans for speeding

[Austin 3:!6]

India will face Bangladesh on October 19 at the MCA Stadium in Pune. The boys have got a well-deserved rest of five days as they last played a match on October 14 against Pakistan in Ahmedabad.

 

Ahead of the crucial Bangladesh game, Zee news reported that Indian skipper Rohit Sharma has been issued three traffic challans after he drove his Lamborghini at 200 kmph on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway.

 

The sources from the traffic department reported that Rohit was travelling from his home in Mumbai to Pune to join his teammates, which is when he drove recklessly and exceeded speeds of 200 km/h and even reaching 215 km/h at times, which resulted in three online challans.

 

Notably, after the game against Pakistan, Rohit travelled to Mumbai via a Pawan Hans helicopter and spent two days with his family, before joining the Indian side in Pune.

 

Speaking about Rohit’s reckless driving, a source from the traffic department reported, “Indian captain driving at a high speed in the middle of a World Cup is not advisable. He should be travelling in a team bus with a police car with him.”

Kya kar raha Rohit.. Kuch sabak le le bhai Pant se.. Such irresponsible behavior. breaking rules, not caring for safety of others and all this chewtiyapa in the middle of an all important WC. 

[bowl_out]

Learnt nothing from the Pant episode.. Idiot captain

[BH-BAIB]

License should be suspended

[Lord]

He's great at driving on roads. But still got pulled up

[AuxiliA]

I hope PCB doesn't complain about that to ICC. 

[vvvslaxman]

His license should be suspended.

Naya naya paisa hazam nahi hota.

 

This idiotic behavior is mostly seen in 3rd world countries, where you can get away with anything. 

 

His license would be revoked for a very long time in America or  - he would probably be fined massively as well. But in India, nothing will happen.

 

Also it is irresponsible towards other commuters. 

 

The Mumbai Pune express has some segments of the road- that are not great - total recipe for a disaster.

[gattaca]

In US if you drive over 25 miles per hour of posted limit the police can detain you. India should start suspending licenses. This is very dangerous for not only Rohit but people around him who are driving on the road.

[R!TTER]

200 km/h is he *ing nuts, this is India not Germany

Off late too many accidents and horrible ones. I for one avoid that expressway

On serious note, what is so urgent? Ambani can even arrange chartered flight for him if he wishes.

He probably has one like Kohli. Or he can borrow from Kohli :)

The time differential via a flight or road isn't much for Mumbai Pune. And at that speeds , road will be faster

He wanted the drive. 

He even got caughtcomly because they installed cameras around 3 yrs ago.

Zee news ko pata kaisa chala. Kaun leak kar raha hai yeh sab?

[Need4Speed]

World cup jeetene k baad..high speed racing track mei kr lo bhai..road mei kyun risk le rhe aur de rahe ho..

Flight will be safer with not much difference in speed.

[sandeep]

200 kph is about 115 mph - while not super crazy, on Indian roads its definitely hazardous.  Dude is middle aged now with a kid.  I've done stupid stuff like this in my teens and 20s.  But what the*** Brohit.  Grow up.

[LordPrabhzy]

The fact he learnt nothing from the Pant episode shows that he is still mentally immature wanting to flash his expensive cars to show off to who no idea! And what was the rush? He has that much money to hire a chopper and take him to Pune..

 

These speeds are worthy of a license suspension, massive fine and also a potential prison sentence in the UK due to the risk of reckless driving- but as he is captaan sahib superstar protected by Ambani nothing will happen to him
