Ellyse Perry's explosive batting display on Monday came with an unexpected consequence when a colossal six by the Australian all-rounder shattered the window of a sponsor's car during the Royal Challengers Bangalore's match against UP Warriorz.
Perry showcased her prowess with the bat, scoring 58 runs off 37 deliveries and playing a crucial role in her team's 23-run victory in the Women's Premier League (WPL) at Bengaluru's M. Chinnaswamy Stadium.
Her innings included four sixes, with the final one sailing over long-on and crashing through the window of a car strategically placed on a stage just behind the boundary rope.
The 33-year-old, visibly surprised and concerned, gasped and held her head in her hands after the unexpected collision between the ball and the car window.
In a lighthearted response, Perry later joked about the potential financial repercussions of her powerful shot.
"I was a bit worried, not sure I have insurance to cover me," she quipped. "So, in a bit of strife there." Despite the humorous aftermath, Perry's impactful batting contributed to her team's success, albeit with a memorable moment that left both spectators and the all-rounder herself amused.
