The Audi R8 – which belonged to Kohli – was one of the Sagar’s many properties which Mumbai police seized after the crime. Fortunately, the star batsman sold the car with all the legal paper works and thus, he didn’t face any consequences. Notably, Sagar bought the car for about Rs 2.5 crore, and it was seized within two months. Since then, the vehicle has been lying Mumbai police ground. When Kohli had the car, he clicked many pictures with the vehicle which are now resurfacing on social media.

Meanwhile, Kohli – who emerged as one of the greats of the game – became the brand ambassador of Audi India and his garage is filled with luxurious vehicles. As mentioned above, he is currently preparing for the first Test against Australia which gets underway on December 17.
