Here Are IPL Special Versions Of The Mahindra Thar & XUV400 EV

With the IPL season coming to an end, all teams except for the ones fighting the final battle have started to head home. But two teams sponsored by Mahindra: Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bangalore have stopped on their way to collaborate with the carmaker one last time this season. Let’s have a look at what these two teams are doing.

Royal Challengers Bangalore - XUV400 EV

Three players of the fan-favourite RCB were with the Mahindra XUV400, but not doing anything extraordinary. Josh Hazelwood, Mahipal Lomror and Wanindu Hasaranga went out to take a stroll in three XUV400s.

But these were not normal-looking XUV400s, for their partnership with the team, Mahindra has customised these three units. These XUV400s come in a purple-orange hue, have RCB’s name and logo on the bonnet, and on the sides, you can see a “Play Bold” decal with the image of the team's entire lineup.

This is where the partnership gets interesting. For their collaboration with Rajasthan Royals, Mahindra organised a very tough test for the players to complete. Called the Reverse Gear, this test had two teams of two players each. Meet the two teams: Sanju Samson with Romi Bhinder vs Riyan Parag with KC Cariappa. One of the players had to drive a Mahindra Thar in reverse gear through a track and the other one had to guide him.

To know which team won, you have to watch the video, but before that, take a look at the Mahindra Thar. These units of the lifestyle SUV have been wrapped in pink skin that has some blue inserts. On the bonnet, there is a huge Rajasthan Royals logo, and on the doors, there is a big “Halla Bol” decal.
