Anand Mahindra has announced Mahindra Thar SUV for six Indian cricketers, who were part of the squad that beat Australia at their home. Indian cricket team created history by beating Australia 2-1 in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2020-21.
In the last match, India were playing with an inexperienced side at the Gabba, Australia's fortress which had an unbeaten streak of 31 matches. They still managed to take down the Aussies and won the match by three wickets.
Five out of the six players are the ones who made their Test debut on the Australia tour. They are Washington Sundar, Shubman Gill, Navdeep Saini, Mohammed Siraj, and T Natarajan.
Shardul Thakur is the sixth cricketer, who had made his Test debut in 2018 but couldn't play the full match because of injury. He had bowled just 10 balls in that Test against the West Indies at Hyderabad.
"Six young men made their debuts in the recent historic series #INDvAUS (Shardul’s 1 earlier appearance was short-lived due to injury)They’ve made it possible for future generations of youth in India to dream & Explore the Impossible.
"Theirs are true ‘Rise’ stories; overcoming daunting odds in the pursuit of excellence. They serve as an inspiration in all areas 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.
"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 (sic)", the tweets in the thread read.
