Following the introduction, the host immediately asks the bowler about the cars he keeps in Rawalpindi. To this, he mentions that he owns a Mercedes-Benz S450 Long Wheelbase and a Toyota Land Cruiser LC300. The host then asks him about the model year of the LC300, to which he mentions that it's either 2022 or 2023.
Moving on, the host asks him to give him a ride and interview in one of his cars. So the bowler decides to take out the Land Cruiser LC300. The host states that the LC300 suits Shoaib Akhtar's personality and that, too, finished in black, it looks even more fitting.
They then take their seats in the LC300 and go for a long drive around Rawalpindi. During the ride, Akhtar mentions that he does not like sports cars a lot. Rather, he loves luxury cars, and the LC300 is one of his all-time favorite SUVs. He states that despite the LC300 being a massive car, he still loves driving it due to the independent suspension and powerful engine.
Akhtar highlights that the cabin of this SUV is extremely luxurious and he keeps it well-maintained, as he loves sitting in a clean and luxurious car after hardcore training sessions. During the drive, he started talking about his stories of how he once gave a sugarcane juice vendor a ride in his Mercedes back in 1999.
He mentions that when he was coming up, he did not have money to eat after training. So he promised a sugarcane juice vendor in Rawalpindi to give him juice, and after he became famous, he would buy him a machine. Following this, he did manage to become very famous and earn a lot of money and eventually kept his word and gave the vendor a ride in a Mercedes-Benz and also gave him a machine.
