The car is a speed freak and its engine delivers 800 hp that can acclerate it from 0–100 km/h in just 3.4 seconds. The man is also reportedly, the owner of BMW, and Mercedes cars.
The swashbuckling Samurai Ravindra Jadeja is next. The man loves horse power and it can come either from the equine kind or the automobile-derived kind. Jadeja loves to ride horses and has a stud farm too. The cricketer also owns one of the most iconic cars of them all - the Rolls Royce Wraith, which touts a 6.6 litre V12 engine and its ex-showroom price is well over Rs 5 crore.

It comes with a massive 5.2 litre V12 engine. Opulence describes cars in Rahul's garage, which also houses a Range Rover and a Lamborghini Huracan Spyder. Clearly, Rahul is as flamboyant with his car choices as he is on the field.
Rishabh Pant is one of the new-breed of cricketers who deliver top performances time and again and expects the same from every other aspect of their lives. This includes automobiles and one that he owns is the Rs 2 crore Ford Mustang GT. Yes, he seems to prefer American muscle cars with a huge history behind them.
