Rohit Sharma caught driving Lamborghini at 200 KMP/H in Mumbai, issued three traffic challans
Mumbai: Indian Cricket Team captain Rohit Sharma has reportedly received three traffic challans for speeding on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway. The incident occurred while the opening batter was en route to join the Indian team in Pune for their upcoming game against Bangladesh on Thursday, October 19. Sharma was allegedly driving at speeds exceeding 200 km/h, leading to the issuance of three online traffic challans for reckless driving, according to a report by Pune Mirror.
Ahead of the crucial clash against Bangladesh, reports suggest that Sharma was driving a Lamborghini with a number plate displaying his highest One Day International (ODI) score '264'.
Authorities have raised concerns about the Indian captain's reckless driving on a busy highway, especially in the midst of the World Cup tournament. Suggestions have been made that Sharma should travel in the team bus accompanied by a police escort for enhanced safety.
Despite this off-field incident, the 36-year-old cricketer has been in sensational form during the ongoing World Cup. Sharma is the leading run-scorer for India in the tournament, amassing 217 runs from three innings at an impressive average of 72.33 and a strike rate of 141.83. He has recorded one century and one fifty in the tournament.
In the second match against Afghanistan, Sharma delivered a remarkable performance, scoring 131 runs off 84 balls and breaking several records in the process. He achieved the fastest hundred by an Indian batter in World Cups (63 balls), the highest number of sixes in international cricket (562), the most hundreds in ODI World Cup (7 hundreds), joint-fastest to 1000 runs in ODI World Cup (19 innings), and the third-highest number of centuries in One Day Internationals (ODIs) (31).

Mangaluru airport issues advisory to passengers, heightens security measures
Mangaluru: In response to recent cross-border attacks by Pakistan and rising tensions along the international boundary, the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security has directed airports across India to enhance security protocols. As part of this nationwide alert, Mangaluru International Airport has intensified surveillance, and introduced secondary ladder point checks (LPSC).
Explaining about the new protocol, Jaideep Shenoy, Public Relations Officer at Mangaluru International Airport, said that the secondary ladder point security check involves a second round of frisking. Passengers will first undergo standard checks by the CISF at the security checkpoint. Before boarding the aircraft, either via a boarding bridge or a bus, they will be subjected to an additional frisking by airline staff at the gate. Shenoy emphasized that the LPSC is a standard security measure implemented at all airports.
He also urged travelers to stay updated by checking the airport’s official social media channels for accurate and timely information.
In light of circulating reports regarding restrictions on visitor entry, Shenoy clarified that the entry of visitors into the terminal has always been restricted. Visitors may accompany passengers up to the departure gates or receive them at the arrival gates, as per existing rules.
In an advisory issued on Friday, Mangaluru International Airport urged passengers to arrive well in advance of their scheduled departures to accommodate extended security checks, and to cooperate with airport and security personnel.
The airport authorities also urged people not to share any unverified information.
#MangaluruAirport is fully operational, with your safety and comfort as our top priority. Stay informed and plan ahead to ensure a smooth journey.
