He also added that the new Tata Safari has already received a great response and the car will be making its IPL debut this season.

He confirmed that they are currently working on innovative plans to garner “viewers’ attention”. As per reports, the new Tata Safari will be awarded to a top IPL player this season, much like how Tata Altroz was handed out in the previous edition.

IPL Chairman Brijesh Patel, in an official statement, said that Tata Motors has been the official partner of IPL since 2018 and their partnership continues to “grow stronger” with each passing year. He added that the company has made efforts to make the tournament exciting for their customers as well as for the fans. Patel was referring to Tata Motors’ partnership during the IPL 2020 season, where their car Tata Altroz was presented to the player with the highest strike-rate.
