Cricketer Amit Mishra is extremely fond of his fast wheels and says they resemble with his personality. In an interview with ET Panache, Mishra talks about some of his most beloved drives of all time. My first car… “My first car was a silver Maruti Esteem. I still have it. I have fond memories of this car as I bought it with the money I made after my first IPL contract. I never want to give it away. It was my first investment.”
Currently, I drive…
“A white Mercedes GLC Coupe AMG. This car is for all seasons. I enjoy taking it out for a long drive. I have also owned a Honda Accord, Toyota Fortuner, Honda City and a Hyundai Santro.” Memorable drives “There are many, but the one I clearly remember is after I got a call to play my debut Test against Australia in 2008. I went for a celebratory drive to enjoy my time in the sun, quite literally.”

Top tip “Don’t speed too much. It will help the car stay as good as new for longer. Another basic tip I follow is to always park my cars under shade.”
Car talk “I love talking about fast wheels with my brother Sanjay and some close friends. My brother and I are heavily into cars and often watch automobile shows and read books on cars too.”
