In the end, the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) were victorious in the Tata WPL (Women’s Premier League) 2024. Even though the team played a fantastic game to win the title, one RCB player’s moment from earlier in the month—the six that broke the Tata Punch EV‘s window—became relatively popular online. The Australian athlete has now been given a present that will always remember that day.

How did that come about?

The Punch EV was on display at every game this season since it was the official vehicle of the WPL. Ellyse Perry, a batter for the RCB, smashed a six during a game between the team and the UP Warriorz at the Chinnaswamy stadium in Bengaluru, shattering the rear window glass of the Punch EV.

The footage of Ellyse hitting the ball hard and high into the stands, where it hit the Punch EV‘s back door window, went viral. Ellyse received a unique gift from Tata just before the WPL 2024 championship, and you guessed it—it was the broken glass from the Punch EV placed inside a frame. Tata also tweeted a photo via Punch EVs and complimented Ellyse for her “glass-breaking” performance in the match.

Tata has fulfilled its promise by announcing a donation of the same amount towards the installation of solar panels at Tata Memorial Hospital in Kolkata. This is in line with its earlier pledge that it will donate Rs 5 lakh to a charity cause each time a player hits the display car. It just serves to highlight Ellyse’s unintentional hit all the more because no other player has been able to hit the automobile since.
