The impressive performance by the young Indian side Down Under has been applauded by everyone all across the globe. As many as five players made their debuts during the series and each of them made significant contributions towards Team India’s success after several key members of the team were sidelined by injuries.
Mahindra will be gifting the SUVs at his personal expense to Mohammed Siraj, Navdeep Saini, Shardul Thakur, T Natarajan, Washington Sundar and Shubhman Gill, who stood up to challenge.
“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,” Mahindra tweeted.

“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,” he wrote.

This is not the first time, Mahindra has made such a gesture towards sportspersons. He had gifted an TUV 300 to Kidambi Srikanth after winning a Super Series Title in 2017.
The BCCI earlier this week had also announced a Rs. 5 crore bonus for the victorious Indian team. (UNI)
