Chandigarh, February 16

Anand Mahindra offered to gift a Thar to Naushad Khan, the father of Indian batsman Sarfaraz who got his Test cap from leg-spinner Anil Kumble today.

Moved by Naushad’s commentary on his son’s achievement, Mahindra posted on X, “Himmat nahin chodna, bas!” The post further read: “Hard work. Courage. Patience. What better qualities than those for a father to inspire in a child? For being an inspirational parent, it would be my privilege and honour if Naushad Khan would accept the gift of a Thar.”

A consistent performer on the domestic circuit for Mumbai, Sarfaraz had been in contention for national selection for a long time but the 26-year-old has had to wait for his chance to break into the Indian Test side.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
