PUBG or PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is already quite popular in India and its popularity in the country is expected to soar even further in light of recent events. A number of Indian PUBG players recently spotted a Mahindra-made tractor in game – the Mahindra 265 DI to be exact – and have taken to Twitter to share screenshots with the chairman of the Mahindra group – Anand Mahindra.
According to a recent report from The Indian Express, the tractor was first spotted in one of Twitch streamer Chocotaco’s streams and since then a number of players have shared different pictures of the tractor on Twitter. The players were elated by the fact that a prominent Indian brand was associated with a game that is being played by millions worldwide and couldn’t contain their emotions. Lets take a look at some of the tweets shared by PUBG fans in India:

While a number of PUBG fans were excited by the rare find, Anand Mahindra was naturally quite oblivious of the game. In a tweet regarding the same, the Mumbai-based business tycoon said:
Ok, I admit I’m embarrassed. I try to keep abreast of the latest happenings in the world but what on earth is PUBG? And of course I’m pleased a Mahindra tractor figures in it. What happens to the tractor, by the way? https://t.co/AtRh3Woz62

Delighted by Mahindra’s reply to their tweets, PUBG fans wasted no time in answering his queries. While some answers were quite informative and might have given Mahindra a fair idea of the game, a lot of others were quite troll, as we’ve now come to expect from Indian Twitter users. Here are few of the replies:
