The wholesome moment was witnessed by a number of people, many of whom were young children as well. Perry is one of the most popular female cricketers in the world.

Perry, 34, is regarded as one of the premier all-rounders in women's cricket. Representing Australia, she has won two ODI World Cup titles and six T20 World Cup titles.
She also turns out for Royal Challengers Bengaluru's (RCB) women's team in the Women's Premier League (WPL), and helped the franchise to its first-ever league title across men's and women's cricket in 2024. She was retained by the franchise ahead of WPL 2025.
Perry is currently the top run-scorer of WBBL 2024, having slammed 315 runs in six games at a strike-rate of more than 150. She has hit three fifties in the process. However, despite Perry's heroics, the Sydney Sixers sit at fifth place in the league table, just outside the top four who qualify for the playoffs.
Not only is Perry one of Australia's greatest women's cricketers - boasting an average of 50 in WODIs - she is also a multi-talented sportsperson. Perry also has a football career to boast about, having represented Australia in the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup, where she even scored her nation's only goal in the quarter-final.
