Tata Motors on Monday announced that Altroz will be the official partner for the 13th edition of Indian Premier League (IPL 2020). The batsman with the highest strike-rate of the tournament drives home the Altroz.
The IPL begins on September 19 and will be played across three venues, located in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah, in the United Arab Emirates, for a total of 50 days.
Continuing its association for the third consecutive year with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), the Altroz follows in the path of its stablemates, the Nexon and the Harrier, both of which have been the tournament’s official partners, during the 2018 and the 2019 seasons, respectively.
As the official partner, Tata Motors will showcase the Altroz in the stadium at all three venues in the UAE, throughout the tournament.
The IPL matches will play host to the exciting Altroz Super Striker Awards – the player with the best strike-rate of the match will win the Altroz Super Striker Trophy along with a prize of Rs 100,000.
Furthermore, apart from displaying the car at the stadiums, Tata Motors will also be indulging creatively with its customers to spread the cheer of the game through its dealerships and social media platforms.
