Why SRH Batter Has To Pay 5 Lakh For Breaking Car Glass – IPL 2025

Abhishek Sharma, a batsman for Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), made headlines during an IPL 2025 game for an unusual reason. Although he has frequently received praise for his power hitting, this time it resulted in a different kind of attention, a broken car window, and a hefty INR 5 lakh fine. Fans and cricket experts were drawn to the story as soon as the incident went viral. Your IPL News explains the specifics of what transpired and the rationale behind the fine.

Why Abhishek Has to Pay Hefty Fine?

The display car parked close to the boundary, a promotional Tata Punch EV from TATA Motors, one of the major IPL sponsors, had its windshield smashed after Abhishek Sharma hit a huge six during a recent IPL 2025 match that went sailing over the boundary ropes.

This incident was not regarded as a chance happening. Before the competition, TATA Motors announced a novel initiative: if a player breaks a car window while playing, they must donate INR 5 lakh worth of cricket kits to help the growth of rural cricket. The project was a component of their CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) initiatives, which aimed to support cricket at the lowest levels in India.

The commitment was unintentionally activated by Abhishek’s strong six, and he will now be contributing cricket kits.

Fan Reaction and Brand Innovation

Social media users praised the IPL and TATA Motors for transforming a potentially harmful situation into a beneficial social cause. Abhishek Sharma was praised by many for handling the situation well. It also showed how effective it is to combine CSR with sports entertainment.

From a marketing standpoint, this astute move by TATA Motors served to attract interest, generate buzz, and encourage the growth of young cricket players in a way that supporters could relate to on an emotional level.

Conclusion

While Abhishek Sharma’s six may have cost him INR 5 lakh in cricket kit donations, the gesture reflects a deeper purpose behind the glitz of IPL. With brands like TATA Motors tying player actions to social good, the tournament continues to set new standards both on and off the field.
