Soon after the Badminton Association of India announced a Rs. 5 lakh cash reward to Kidambi Srikanth for winning the Australia Open Superseries title, noted industrialist and diversified business conglomerate Mahindra Group Chairman, Anand Mahindra said he would "personally" hand over a TUV300 to the shuttler.
"He wins! Now officially STEAMROLLER SRIKANTH!," Mahindra tweeted on Srikanth's win.
Soon after, a Twitter user highlighted that Srikanth's prize money is way less as compared to cricketers, asking Mahindra to look into the matter.
"Sir, He (Srikanth) gets only five lakh..That's nothing compared to cricket, pls do something," @NastreTheMust wrote in his tweet.
Responding to the Twitter follower, Mahindra tweeted,
"OK. His fighting spirit has made us proud. A STEAMROLLER deserves a Battle Tank. I'll personally gift @srikidambi a Mahindra #TUV300," Mahindra tweeted.
