Business tycoon Anand Mahindra had announced that he will be gifting the all-new Thar SUV to pacers T Natarajan, Mohammed Siraj, Shardul Thakur, Navdeep Saini as well as opening batsman Shubman Gill and all-rounder Washington Sundar for their heroics in the Test series in Australia. India won the series Down Under 2-1 in the absence of senior players like Virat Kohli, Mohammed Shami, Ravindra Jadeja and Jasprit Bumrah. This impressed Mahindra tremendously that he decided to pay for the gift out of his own pocket rather than the company's expenses.
