Indian Cricketers And Their Mercedes Benz G-Wagens: MS Dhoni To Arshdeep Singh
In India, cricket is not just a sport. It is considered a religion by many. It is also one of the highest-paying sports in the country, and for the same reason, many players in the national team often lead a very lavish lifestyle. Expensive cars and large bungalows or apartments are part of their lives now. Most of them own luxury cars, and we have featured many of them on our website several times. Here, we have a list of Indian cricketers who own the iconic Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen SUV.
Hardik Pandya owns a variety of expensive cars, and the G63 AMG is one among them. Hardik Pandya is known for his good performance both as a batsman and a bowler. He was also one of the first cricketers in India to buy a G-Wagen. He bought the luxury SUV in a Mojave Silver shade with custom red interiors.
After Hardik, it was Shreyas Iyer who bought a G-Wagen. He didn’t go for the standard G-Wagen; he bought a G63 AMG with an exclusive Brabus kit. He is probably the only cricketer to own a Brabus G63 AMG.
Suryakumar Yadav is also a popular player in the Indian cricket team. His catch during the T20 World Cup final is something that his fans love to talk about. Apart from his performance on the ground, he also owns a G63 AMG SUV. He bought the SUV in a matte black shade, which is very common among G-Wagen owners. Other than the G-Wagen, he also owns a Nissan Jonga 1-ton truck finished in a neon green shade.
Captain Cool, the former captain of the Indian cricket team, also owns a G63 AMG. He owns several bikes and cars, and the reason why he bought the G63 AMG was because it was his dream vehicle. It is also one of the last chances to buy one with a proper petrol or diesel engine, as the future of the G-Wagen is going to be electric.
The last and latest entrant on this list is fast bowler Arshdeep Singh. He also bought a brand-new G63 AMG SUV in a gloss black shade. Before the G63 AMG, he got his Type 1 Toyota Fortuner modified with a Lexus kit.
G63 AMG
The G63 AMG is an iconic SUV, and many sports personalities and celebrities in India and around the world love it. It is an extremely boxy-looking SUV with premium features on the inside. Mercedes now offers several customisation options, but the G-Wagen was originally built for the military.
The G63 AMG mentioned here in this story now costs around ₹4.5 crore. It is powered by a 4.0-litre V8 twin-turbo engine. This SUV generates around 577 bhp and 850 Nm of peak torque. The G63 AMG weighs over 2.5 tonnes but can still do the 0–100 km/h sprint in just 4.4 seconds.
