Michael Perschke, Head of Audi India along with Indian cricket legend, Ravi Shastri presented the ace cricketer with the keys to his brand new Audi Q5, the sportiest and most elegant SUV in its class.
“I would like to congratulate Yuvraj Singh on being declared the Man of the Tournament at the ICC World Cup 2011. Yuvraj’s performance on the cricket field has made us all proud. Much like Audi, Yuvraj epitomizes success and is a reflection of Audi’s core brand values of sportiness and progressiveness,” said Michael Perschke, Head, Audi India.
“Cricket brought Audi to India long before business did. We became synonymous with the sport when Ravi Shastri was gifted the Audi 100 for his winning performance at the World Championship of Cricket in 1985. Inspired by his recent nostalgic reference to that occasion, we decided to keep the tradition alive and rekindle the fire of victory with India’s latest cricket hero, Yuvraj Singh”, he added.
“It is after 28 years we bring the World Cup home and it is an honor that I have been chosen to be felicitated by Audi as they continue their tradition.” said Yuvraj Singh.
The brand with the four rings has had a deep rooted relationship with the sport of cricket. The memory of the 1985 Indian cricket team victory lap in the Audi 100 continues to live on in the minds of Indian cricket fans even today.
“My association with the iconic brand Audi began 26 years ago, when I brought home the country’s first ever Audi. I am happy to see Audi India take this tradition forward and continue to recognize the achievement of champions in the cricketing field. With his versatility, consistency, talent and thirst for excellence, Yuvraj Singh has set new benchmarks in the cricketing world,” said Ravi Shastri, former Indian Cricketer.
