On Monday, March 04, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) veteran all-rounder Ellyse Perry broke a car window with her explosive six during the WPL 2024 game 11 against UP Warriorz at the M. Chinnaswamy stadium in Bengaluru.
The incident took place during the 19th over of RCB’s innings. Deepti Sharma bowled a tossed-up delivery and Perry moved forward and smashed it over the deep mid-wicket fence. The ball hit the window of the display car and broke the side glass, leaving everyone including herself in awe. Someone fetched it from inside the car.
During her blustering knock, Ellyse Perry scored 58 runs off 37 balls at a strike rate of 156.76, including four sixes and as many boundaries. She also engaged in a century partnership with captain Smriti Mandhana for the second wicket.
Perry had earlier scored 44*, 23* and 8 runs in her last three innings for RCB.
