Australia’s star batswoman Ellyse Perry is known for her phenomenal batting skills. And recently, she proved that apart from being a class woman cricketer, she is a gem of a person too. During the match number 3 of the Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL) between Sydney Sixers Women and Melbourne Stars Women, the play stopped for a while when Perry rushed towards the crowd. She had hit a humongous six and the ball went into the stands and hit a boy in his head.

Perry came to know about the incident and ran straight to check whether that boy was ok. Her batting partner Dane van Niekerk and some of the Melbourne Stars players followed Perry to the North Sydney Oval fence.
