Driving on snow-covered roads can be challenging, and an SUV with a 4×4 powertrain is the best option for such conditions. However, even the most capable SUVs can sometimes fail to perform on such roads. One such incident involved Indian cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar, whose Toyota Fortuner got stuck on a snow-covered road in Kashmir. The incident was captured on camera and shared on social media.

In the video, Sachin Tendulkar’s Toyota Fortuner can be seen struggling to get out of the snow while the person recording the video narrates the incident. The SUV’s wheel got stuck while it was going uphill, and the driver attempted to get it out, but the wheels can be seen spinning in place.
A group of people surrounded the SUV, trying to remove the snow using a shovel, while a few armed soldiers stood nearby. In the video, Sachin Tendulkar can be seen sitting in the front passenger seat of the vehicle. Despite continuous efforts, the SUV failed to get out of the situation and was later rescued by an ATV.

It is important to note that the Toyota Fortuner in the video is not owned by Sachin Tendulkar. Stuck in a tough sport, Toyota Fortuner is regarded as one of the best SUVs for off-roading in India. It is sold with a 4×4 powertrain and comes at a starting price of Rs 33.43 lakh (ex-showroom).
Sachin Tendulkar is known for his passion for cars and often embarks on road trips throughout the country. Very often he shares pictures during his road trip. Earlier, he shared a picture of himself sipping tea while he was on his journey from Mumbai to Goa.
For this road trip he used a Kia Carens MPV. It is worth mentioning that Tendulkar’s enthusiasm for car is expressed in the form of various luxury vehicles he owns, including cars like the Porsche 911 Turbo S, BMW X5M, Mercedes C63 AMG, and more.
