Hyderabad: Indian Pacer Mohammed Siraj thanks the industrialist and chairman of the Mahindra group, Anand Mahindra, for donating him a Mahindra Thar sports utility vehicle for his performance in the Test series Down Under in Australia earlier this year.
Siraj also finished as the highest wicketkeeper for his team in the Test series.
Siraj received his gift on Sunday and took to social media to share a photo of his family receiving ‘Mahindra Thar’.
Siraj tweeted: “Words are failing me at this moment. There is nothing I can say or do that will adequately express the feelings of your beautiful gift. ‘
“For now, I just say a big fat thank you @anandmahindra sir,” he added.
Siraj shared a photo of his mother and brother Ayan Mirxa receiving the car as he is currently training with the Royal Challengers Bangalore in a bio-safe environment for the upcoming IPL 2021.
Siraj is one of six cricketers promised a Thar sport utility vehicle by Anand Mahindra in recognition of their performance in the Test series Down Under earlier in January in Australia.
After the series Down Under, Mahindra announced that he would be giving a Thar each to six young men (who) made their debut in the recent historical series.
The other cricketers the industrialist has included in the list are Shubman Gill, T Natarajan, Shardul Thakur, Navdeep Saini and Washington Sundar.
On January 23, 2021, Anand Mahindra tweeted on Twitter, and he tweeted: ‘Six young men made their debut in the recent historical series #INDvAUS (Shardul’s earlier appearance was short-lived due to injury) They made it possible for the future generations of youths in India to dream and explore the impossible (1/3). ”
“They are true ‘Rise’ stories; overcoming frightening opportunity in the pursuit of excellence. It serves as inspiration in all areas of life. It gives me great personal pleasure to give each of these debutants an All New THAR SUV for my own account – at no cost to the company, ‘tweeted Mahindra.
The reason for this gift is to encourage young people to believe in themselves and ‘Take the road less traveled’. Bravo Mohammed, Shardul, Shubhman, Natarajan, Navdeep & Washington! I now plead with @Mahindra_Auto to give them THARS preference.
Recently, Shardul Thakur and T Natarajan received their SUV. Both used social media to express gratitude and thank Anand Mahindra.
