Mahindra made the announcement in a series of tweets and complimented the team for their sheer hardwork and resolve. The young players that will receive the Thar SUV include Mohammad Siraj, T Natarajan, Shardul Thakur, Washington Sundar, Shubman Gill and Navdeep Saini. The tour of Australia saw the Indian team bag a 2-1 test victory. "The reason for this gift is to exhort young people to believe in themselves & Take the road less traveled," said Anand Mahindra.

The tour of Australia comprised four matches that saw a lot of shuffling due to injuries and unavailability of players. The test series saw as many as five players make their debut. With new players and constant reshuffling, the team did manage to take an epic win. The series saw Hyderabad's Mohammad Siraj become the leading wicket-taker for India and picked up 13 wickets in three matches. Shardul and Washington played a key role in batting and bowling in the final test in Brisbane. The team also managed to end Australia's 32-year-old unbeaten run at the Gabba. The same match also saw Natarajan pick three wickets for 78 runs in the first innings, helping the team achieve some exceptional results.
