Anand Mahindra, the chairman of Mahindra Group, lavished praise on Shubman Gill after he scored his 3rd hundred of IPL 2023 vs the Mumbai Indians in Qualifier 2 on Friday.
The business tycoon tweeted to say, 'This man is the new Indian run-machine. That Thar we gifted him must be purring (growling?) with pride every time he puts his pedal to the metal…'
Gill was among 6 Indian cricketers including T Natarajan, Shardul Thakur, Navdeep Saini, Mohammed Siraj and Washington Sundar, who received the Mahindra Thar SUV as a gift from Anand Mahindra as an acknowledgement of their stellar match-winning performances in the historic Test series win vs Australia in 2021.
