With just weeks left for the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 to begin in the United States and West Indies, a former star Indian cricketer was at Miami GP to promote the tournament.

However, not only did he promote the ICC tournament at the venue, but the flamboyant left-handed batter and once the best fielder of the Indian squad also tasted an adrenaline-filled ride on the Miami International Autodrome track along with F1 Finnish legend Mika Hakkinen.

Yuvraj attended the Miami Grand Prix in the US and met Mike there, who gave him a ride in a McLaren 750S coupe supercar. Yuvraj was super happy with the exhilarating hot lap in the supercar and said he wished to buy it.

Later, the 3-minute video was shared on YouTube by Formula 1's official channel and Instagram page. In the video, Yuvraj can be seen entering the supercar, and then Mike welcomes him with a smile. By the end, the two-time F1 World Championship winner asks Yuvraj if he owns any sports cars.

Answering to this, Yuvraj said, he did and named the Lamborghini Murcielago and the Bentley Continental GT V8. But when 2011 World Cup winning star was about to say something more, Mike hit the accelerator of McLaren.
