Fans have seen many massive sixes in the IPL over the years, with some even flying over the stadium. But Abhishek did something rarely seen before – he smashed a six so hard that it broke the windshield of a car parked near the stands.

For the unversed, Tata has been a sponsor of the IPL since 2019 and displays its latest cars at matches. Even though the car was parked far behind the boundary, Abhishek’s shot still managed to hit and damage it.

The incident happened in the second over when Abhishek Sharma was batting against experienced bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar. On the fifth ball of the over, Bhuvneshwar bowled a short delivery, and Abhishek pulled it over deep midwicket. The ball flew through the air and landed right on the car’s windshield, breaking it instantly.
