Green Dot Ball
From Play to Planet
The TATA IPL Green Dot initiative transforms every dot ball into a contribution towards tree plantation — turning a moment in sport into meaningful environmental action. The challenge was to design a trophy that could embody this powerful idea, not as a static sculpture, but as a living story players and fans could emotionally connect with.

Studio ABD designed the Green Dot Ball Trophy as an iconic cricket ball that opens to reveal a seed ball at its core — symbolising how every dot can grow into a tree. The trophy has sparked conversations across players, fans, and social media, becoming a symbol of sustainability, storytelling, and purposeful design with millions of views and widespread engagement.
The Green Dot Ball Trophy has transformed the moment of recognition into something far more meaningful. As players open the iconic cricket ball to discover a seed ball within, the experience creates moments of surprise, excitement, and connection. What they receive is not just an award, but a tangible reminder that their performance on the field contributes to something larger beyond the game.
