Anand mahindra keeps promise to gift thar suv to stars of india-australia test tour

Anand Mahindra keeps promise to gift Thar SUV to stars of India-Australia test tour&nbsp You guys remember earlier this year, Anand Mahindra, the bossman at Mahindra & Mahindra, was

quite taken by Team India's performance in the India-Australia test tour in Gabba? So much so, he promised to gift the star debutants in the series, namely, Navdeep Saini, Mohammed

Siraj, T Natrajan, Shubman Gill, Washington Sundar, and Shardul Thakur, one Mahindra Thar SUV each. And the swell man that is Monsieur Mahindra, he kept his promise and two of the

aforementioned six recently took deliveries of their Thar SUVs too. The Indian cricket team made history at Gabba earlier this year when they beat Australia in the fourth test match, thus

ending their 31 test-win streak.  What rendered this victory even sweeter is the fact that the Indian cricket team's chances of winning the series had been written off even before the

match. Suffice it to we persevered and won everyone's hearts, including that of Anand Mahindra. Post the win, he tweeted he will gift a Mahindra Thar to six Indian team players for

their contribution in the test match against Australia at Gabba and to encourage these youngsters to believe in themselves and 'take the road less travelled'.  Both T Natarajan and

Shardul Thakur took to social media to share pictures of their spanking new Mahindra Thar SUVs. Natarajan received one in red, while Thakur took a grey Thar home. The second-gen Mahindra

Thar is available with a choice between a 2.0-litre mStallion turbo petrol engine and a 2.2-litre diesel motor. The petrol unit churns 150 bhp with 320 Nm while the diesel motor delivers 130

bhp and 320 Nm. Both engines are available with a choice between a six-speed manual and six-speed automatic transmission.
