New Delhi: India is a country which reflects diversity in every aspect, from religion to culture to food to languages.
However, two things that unite the entire country apart from the national anthem are ‘Bollywood' and ‘Cricket'.
Both are practically distinct religions in the country and film stars and cricketers are considered no less than ‘living gods'.
Apart from the B-town celebs who enjoy a huge fan base, Indian cricketers also have joined the league to be a trendsetter these days.
Though fans try to follow their favourite cricket star in every possible way, these cricket icons have their list of favourites as well, be it their favourite places, food or luxury drives.
So here we bring you 6 popular Indian cricketers along with their favourite luxury cars:

Presently, the captain of the Indian cricket team in the shorter formats of the game, Mahendra Singh Dhoni bagged a lot of attention right from the beginning for his cool attitude and stylish looks.

Captain Cool looks out for a luxury drive and has several sedans at his service. His cars include a Mitsubishi Outlander, custom built Mahindra Scorpio and Mitsubishi Pajero SFX.
