Sachin Tendulkar turns 53: a look at his premium car collection
April 24 marked the 53rd birthday of former Indian cricketer Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar. The cricket legend celebrated the occasion by cutting a cake outside his residence in the presence of his wife, Anjali. As fans across the world marked the birthday of the “God of Cricket”, here’s a look at some of the exceptional cars in his garage.
Lamborghini Urus S
The Lamborghini Urus S stands out as one of the most prominent vehicles in Tendulkar’s collection. Considered an evolution of the brand’s first performance SUV, the model is powered by a 4.0-litre V8 bi-turbo engine that produces 657 horsepower and 850 Nm of peak torque. It is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, delivering power to all four wheels.
Range Rover SV Edition
Recently, Tendulkar added another vehicle to his garage — the Range Rover SV Edition, priced at around ₹2.36 crore. The luxury SUV is equipped with a 3.0-litre six-cylinder turbo-petrol engine that produces 394 hp and 550 Nm of torque, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
Porsche 911 Turbo
Another high-end car in the former cricketer’s collection is the Porsche 911 Turbo, finished in a sleek black colour with grey alloy wheels. In India, the sports car is priced at around ₹3.13 crore. It is powered by a 3.7-litre flat-six turbo-petrol engine that generates 572 hp and can accelerate from 0 to 96 km/h in just 2.2 seconds.
BMW 7 Series
Among the more understated vehicles in his collection is the BMW 7 Series, specifically the 740Li variant. While it may not be the most visually striking, it stands out for its refined German engineering. The luxury sedan features a 3.0-litre six-cylinder turbo-petrol engine, offering a balance of comfort and performance.
Earlier in the day, Tendulkar shared a picture on social media with his mother, his wife, and his pet dog.
“Perfect start to my day with Aai, Anjali and the troublemaker! What more could a man ask for?” he wrote.
Former India cricketer Harbhajan Singh, who was present at a Legends Club event on the occasion of Tendulkar’s birthday, told PTI, “I wish my brother a very happy birthday. I wish him a lot of love and respect.”
“I pray that he stays healthy. I pray that he continues to inspire us. I wish him a lot of happiness and love,” Harbhajan added.
