Anand Mahindra announces gift of SUVs to 6 Indian cricketers for their heroics in Ind vs Aus series
New Delhi: Anand Mahindra on Saturday announced that he would gift six SUVs to the Indian cricketers from the triumphant Indian Cricket Team which returned from Australia after winning and retaining the Border-Gavaskar trophy down under.
Anand took to his Twitter announced that he will gift six THAR SUVs to the Indian cricketers who played their first Test in Australia and stood up to challenge.
In a series of tweets, Anand Mahindra hailed Shardul Thakur, Shubman Gill, Mohammed Siraj, Navdeep Saini, Washington Sundar and T Natarajan for inspiring future generations to "dream and explore the impossible."
In the Test series, Siraj was the leading wicket-taker for India, picking up 13 wickets in three matches.
Shardul and Washington played a key role with both the bat and ball in the final Test in Brisbane as India ended Australia's 32-year-old unbeaten run at the Gabba.
Both players with their 123-run stand for the seventh wicket, broke a 30-year-old record for India in Test cricket.
In the same match, Natarajan was the pick of the bowlers for the visitors in the first innings, returning with figures of three for 78.
Theirs are true ‘Rise’ stories; overcoming daunting odds in the pursuit of excellence. They serve as an inspiration in all arenas of life. It gives me great personal pleasure to gift each of these debutants an All New THAR SUV on my own account—at no expense to the company. (2/3) pic.twitter.com/5aiHSbOAl1
