Anand Mahindra gifts THAR SUVs to cricketers for win against Australia in Gabba

Business tycoon Anand Mahindra was mighty impressed by the stellar performances of certain cricketers during India’s 2-1 series win against Australia in Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia and in a series of tweets he had said that wants to give each of them “all new Thar SUV on his own account with no expense to the company.” The cricketers are Shardul Thakur, Shubman Gill, Mohammed Siraj, Washington Sundar, Navdeep Saini, and T Natarajan.

The reason for this gift is to exhort young people to believe in themselves & ‘Take the road less traveled.’ Bravo Mohammed, Shardul, Shubhman,Natarajan,Navdeep & Washington! I now plead with @Mahindra_Auto to get them their THARS on priority.  (3/3)

Shardul Thakur and T Natarajan recently took to Twitter to share notes of thanks upon receiving their gifts on Thursday. They also shared pictures with their new cars.

“New Mahindra Thar has arrived!! @MahindraRise has built an absolute beast & I’m so happy to drive this SUV. A gesture that youth of our nation will look up to. Thank you once again Shri @anandmahindra ji, @pakwakankar ji for recognising our contribution on the tour of Australia,” Shardul Thakur tweeted.
