Anand Mahindra never fails to impress his followers with his witty and informative Twitter posts. The Mahindra Group chairman has always been on point when it comes to his social media game. This time, the industrialist shared some photos of India’s highest football stadium, located in Ladakh. The visuals will surely “take your breath away.” While sharing the pictures uploaded by another account originally, Anand Mahindra also expressed his wish to visit a stadium like this and watch a game there.

“That view takes your breath away. And not because of oxygen depletion!! At some point in the future, I want to be physically present at a Football match in that stadium on a Sunday, Instead of being a couch potato and watching cricket on TV!” Anand Mahindra wrote.
