Keeping his promise, Mr Mahindra has already gifted the new Thar to Shardul Thakur and T Natarajan. The debutant cricketers have thanked Anand Mahindra via a social media platform.
While the T Natarajan received a hardtop version of the new Thar in a Red Rage paint scheme, the Shardul Thakur chose to have his Thar finished in Galaxy Grey paint option.
