After India’s historic win in the recent Test series against Australia, businessman Anand Mahindra announced on Twitter in January that he will be gifting Thar SUV’s to Shubman Gill, Washington Sundar, Shardul Thakur, Mohammed Siraj, Navdeep Saini and T Natarajan, who were the young guns present in the Indian winning team that defeated Australia.

Now, T Natarajan has received his SUV which is gifted by Anand Mahindra. T Natarajan took to social media and expressed his gratitude. He wrote: “As I drive the beautiful @mahindrathar home today, I feel immense gratitude towards Shri #anandmahindra for recognising my journey & for his appreciation. I trust that given Mr.Anand Mahindra’s love for cricket, he will find this signed shirt of mine from the #Gabba Test, meaningful! #cricket #mahindrathar #gratitude.”

Earlier Anand Mahindra had announced the gifts on Twitter in January in the following three tweets:

”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 (1/3)”

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)”

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.”
