Reports indicate that Sharma was driving at speeds exceeding 200 km/h, resulting in three online traffic fines for reckless driving. According to a Pune Mirror report, a member of the traffic department expressed concerns about the Indian captain’s high-speed driving on a busy highway during the World Cup and suggested that he should travel with the team in the team bus, accompanied by a police escort.
The report also mentioned that the Indian skipper was driving a Lamborghini with a license plate bearing his highest ODI score of ‘264’.

Meanwhile, if we talk about his form then he seems quite unstoppable at the moment. Just like the previous edition, Rohit Sharma is India’s leading run scorer with 217 runs in 3 matches, averaging 72.33. During India’s 2nd match against Afghanistan, he smacked a terrific Century followed by 86 off 63.
His form indicates that India are looking strong with some important matches to follow. He will be crucial for India against New Zealand, England and South Africa therefore he must tread with caution at the moment. He has now been advised to move around with the team bus in order to avoid any such thing in future.
