Mahindra wrote on Twitter, ""Theirs are true ‘Rise’ stories; overcoming daunting odds in the pursuit of excellence. They serve as an inspiration in all arenas of life. It gives me great personal pleasure to gift each of these debutants an All New THAR SUV on my own account—at no expense to the company.".

"Six young men made their debuts in the recent historic series #INDvAUS (Shardul’s 1 earlier appearance was short-lived due to injury)They’ve made it possible for future generations of youth in India to dream & Explore the Impossible," wrote Mahindra, in praise of the young players.

Continuing to explain why Mahindra decided to gift Thar SUV to all six, Mahindra wrote, "The reason for this gift is to exhort young people to believe in themselves & ‘Take the road less traveled.’ Bravo Mohammed, Shardul, Shubhman,Natarajan,Navdeep & Washington! I now plead with @Mahindra_Auto to get them their THARS on priority."

Later, the Thar SUV also passed the safety crash test conducted by global safety rating agency Global NCAP with four-star ratings. It has been one of the most successful SUVs launched by Mahindra in recent times, clocking decent sales numbers for them. It received a price hike earlier this year.
