‘Whose Rolls-Royce was that?’: Internet speculates as Mohsin Naqvi arrives at Dubai stadium in style

Speculations are rife as an undated video showed Interior Minister and Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Mohsin Naqvi getting off a Rolls-Royce in Dubai.

Pakistan on Sunday lost arch-rivals India in a one-sided Champions Trophy clash by six wickets. A day prior to the match, PCB chief Naqvi visited the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, where he interacted with Pakistani players and coaching staff.

During his visit, Naqvi met with the players, offering words of motivation and discussing the team’s progress and preparations. The chairperson also took the opportunity to connect with the coaching staff, ensuring they had the resources and support needed for the team’s continued development.

While he also observed the team’s practice session, the only thing that caught netizens’ attention was the luxury vehicle the PCB chairperson was spotted getting off of.

A viral video showed Naqvi stepping out of a Rolls-Royce Cullinan bearing the registration plate ‘55555’.

While netizens share unverified reports regarding the ownership of the vehicle that they claim belong to a United Arab Emirates (UAE) based Pakistani property tycoon, there hasn’t been an official reaction to the same.

The Current has also reached out to an official concerned; however, a response is awaited.

Meanwhile, India secured a commanding six-wicket victory over Pakistan in their high-stakes ICC Champions Trophy clash on Sunday, with Virat Kohli delivering a match-winning century that all but ended Pakistan's title defence.

After winning the toss and choosing to bat, Pakistan struggled to capitalise on the decision, getting bowled out for 241 runs in 49.4 overs.

Chasing 242, India's batting remained in complete control, led by Virat Kohli's unbeaten 100 off 111 balls. His composed innings ensured India never came under pressure, and they comfortably reached the target with six wickets in hand.

Apart from him, Shubman Gill scored 46 off 52 balls, while Shreyas Iyer contributed 56 off 67.

The match result sparked strong reactions from cricket experts, many of whom highlighted India's superiority and Pakistan's struggles.

Legendary fast bowler Wasim Akram also called for major changes to the team. Speaking on Sports Central, Akram criticised Pakistan's outdated strategies and poor performances, urging bold decisions to rebuild the team ahead of the 2026 T20 World Cup.

"Enough is enough. We have been playing old-fashioned cricket for too long. Now it's time for bold steps. Bring in fearless young players into white-ball cricket. If we need to make five or six changes, do it. Even if we lose for six months, it's fine, but we must start preparing for the future," he said.

Akram also slammed the PCB and selectors for persisting with underperforming players instead of giving new talent a chance. He highlighted that in Pakistan's last five ODIs, the bowlers have taken just 24 wickets at an average of 60 runs per wicket — one of the worst records among 14 international teams, including Oman and the United States (US).
