The twitter user said that this prize was nothing in comparison to what cricketers get and requested Mahindra to do something.

Mahindra, who has been closely following Srikanth throughout the tournament and has been tweeting about him on every win of his, replied saying, “His fighting spirit made us proud. A Steamroller deserves a battle tank. I'll personally gift Kidambi Srikanth a Mahindra TUV300.”

While other another twitter user tired his luck by asking him how many retweets for a free Mahindra XUV. To this, Mahindra relied saying, “Don't push your luck buddy.”

Srikant has had a good season so far and has won one-third of the super series tournaments held in 2017.
