When Anand Mahindra praised Kenjige
After USA defeated Pakistan in T20 World Cup match last week, Mahindra praised US cricket team’s Noshtush Kenjige.He then called Kenjige as “one of the other architects of USA’s stunning upset victory against Pakistan”. For those unaware, both Mahindra and Kenjige are alumni of The Lawrence School.
In the post, Mahindra stated that he “will keep cheering you in future matches. But NOT on the 12th, when you play against us!”. “School ties never win over ties to the Tiranga,” he added.
Here’s what Mahindra said in the X post
“By now we’ve all heard about Saurabh Netravalkar who bowled the Super Over for the USA vs Pakistan. Now meet Noshtush Kenjige, one of the other architects of USA’s stunning upset victory against Pakistan. Grew up in Karnataka & attended the Lawrence School, Lovedale, which happens to be where I went to school too.. So I cheered your exploits on the field against Pakistan, Noshtush. And, as a fellow alumnus of Lawrence, will keep cheering you in future matches. But NOT on the 12th, when you play against us! School ties never win over ties to the Tiranga”
