Indian cricket players T Natarajan and Shardul Thakur recently took delivery of their respective new Mahindra Thar SUVs. The off-roader was gifted to them and four other crickets by Anand Mahindra, Chairman – Mahindra & Mahindra, as a goodwill gesture for their incredible performance in the India-Australia test tour earlier this year. The test series was India’s first win in Australia since 1988 with the young Indian cricket team taking a 2-1 series victory. Apart from Natarajan and Thakur, the other players that will receive the Thar SUV include Mohammad Siraj, Washington Sundar, Shubman Gill and Navdeep Saini.

Meanwhile, Shardul Thakur’s version is finished in grey. The cricketer tweeted, “New Mahindra Thar has arrived!! @MahindraRise has built an absolute beast & I’m so happy to drive this SUV.
