As seen in the video, the ball hit the windscreen of the Tata Harrier directly. However and thankfully, no serious damage was done to the Harrier and the ball just bounced off after hitting the front glass. The batsman here, who hit the six, is Chris Lynn playing from Kolkata Knight riders while the bowler is Shreyas Gopal, playing from Rajasthan Royals. The match was being played in the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur. Well, this incident at least gave us the answer to a long answered query of what would happen if the ball hits the car.
As for the question of why the Harrier was present at the ground, Tata Motors is the official partner for Vivo Indian Premier League 2019 and has been using the cricket festival as a platform to showcase its Harrier SUV. Also, there is a special competition announced by Tata through which the winner can get a Harrier SUV as the reward. Known as the Harrier Fan Catch, through this competition, fans are rewarded Rs. 1 lakh for taking a clean single-handed catch of a six. The fan who wins the most popular Harrier Fan Catch of the season also wins the luxury SUV. The final result will be done via an online voting procedure where the most popular one hand fan catch of the season will be decided.
. The company showcased the Nexon sub-4 meter SUV last time and is continuing the tradition this time with the Harrier. Talking about Harrier, it was launched this January by Tata and since then has become a sales success for the company. Tata promises that the Harrier will have the best in class safety rating. The Nexon was the first Indian vehicle to get a 5 star Global NCAP rating and Tata has been working towards improving the build quality of its vehicles. The company will also launch the 7 seater version of the Harrier by the end of this year. Called the Cassini, it will become the flagship model of the company, replacing the current flagship Hexa.
