Notably, Anand Mahindra gifted an SUV to Shubman Gill following his stellar performance in his debut Test series against Australia in 2020-21. Along with Gill, the industrialist gifted a Mahindra Thar SUV to T Natarajan, Shardul Thakur, Navdeep Saini, Mohammed Siraj and Washington Sundar.

Mahindra was delighted with India’s historic win down under as a depleted team India ended Australia’s long unbeaten run at the Gabba in Brisbane and won the series 2-1.
