For the #TapTheBall challenge, Hipi’s own creator, the Indian National hockey team player Yuvraj Walmiki and Taapsee Pannu connect for a fun hockey banter. Just like in the movie where the story follows the tale of ‘rocket’, who finally gets the chance to realize her dream and compete professionally, in this challenge users can explore their fun, Hipi talent in their sport of choice. Using the sport’s equipment in a fun way, e.g. tapping a cricket ball on the bat, hockey ball on the stick, tennis ball on the racquet and so on, users can upload their videos in support of their favorite sport.

The Indian hockey men’s and women’s have also displayed tremendous skills and talent at global events like The Olympics, making us all proud. The idea to associate with a platform like Hipi is to showcase my skills in a fun way that connects with a wider audience, especially today’s youth and inspires a love for the sport among them.
