In a video surfaced on social media, the car was spotted with a visible dent on the front side of it.
The incident occurred in the second over of the innings as RCB's stand-in captain Jitesh Sharma brought on Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who shared the new ball with left-arm seamer Yash Dayal. With the southpaw hammering the ball way over mid-wicket, the car stationed at that area copped a blow. The car notably will be awarded to the player who has the highest strike rate at the end of IPL 2025 (minimum 100 deliveries.
