Natarajan, Shardul thank Anand Mahindra for promised SUV
The chairman of Mahindra Group, a Mumbai-based business conglomerate, Anand Mahindra is an ardent cricket fan. He often expresses his views about the performance of the team and players via his official Twitter handle. Earlier this year, the Men in Blue scripted history by retaining the Border Gavaskar Trophy in Australia with a 2-1 series win.
What made the victory more special was the fact that it came on the back of stunning performances by debutants who grabbed the opportunity with both hands and made the country proud. In the Test series, India were without the services of some of their main players who suffered injuries during the course of the series.
Impressed with the temperament and character showed by the debutants, Mahindra had promised to gift the new THAR SUV at his own expense to as many as six players including the likes of Shardul Thakur, Mohammed Siraj, Shubman Gill, Navdeep Saini, T Natarajan, and Washington Sundar.
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. ? (3/3)

The industrialist stayed true to his words as one out of the six players, T Natarajan shared pictures of him receiving the SUV from the showroom on his Twitter handle. Natarajan also took the opportunity to express his gratitude to Anand for showering him with love and affection.
As a token of appreciation, the 30-year-old also presented his signed Gabba jersey to the businessman and is hopeful that he will find his return gift meaningful.
