Captain cool is known for owning some of the most unique vehicles in the country ranging from vintage cars to ultra-modern supercars.
MS Dhoni gifted himself the Kia EV6 electric car. Dhoni boasts a car collection that would make anyone enviable. He has not only vintage and modern supercars but also some prominent motorcycles. However, this has to be the first EV in his ostentatious garage. Kia has brought its acclaimed EV to India just a couple of months ago. Interestingly, it has managed to sell 200 units and more CBU units will need to be allotted to India to cope with the demand. Hence, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that even the celebs are finding value in it.
