Indian cricket team all-rounder Hardik Pandya has been the talk of the town recently due to rumors about a possible divorce with his wife Natasa Stankovic. Speculation intensified when Hardik was not among the first group of Indian cricket team players who flew to New York for the T20 World Cup 2024, and reports suggested that he was on holiday at an undisclosed location overseas. However, despite these rumors, neither Hardik nor Natasa has addressed the situation publicly.
Hardik took to social media to share photos from the Indian cricket team practice session, indicating that he has joined the team for the upcoming tournament with the caption “On national duty.” Despite having a tough season in IPL 2024 as both a player and captain of Mumbai Indians, Hardik faced backlash from fans and experts alike. Mumbai Indians had a disappointing season, winning only four matches and finishing last in the competition. However, despite this setback, Hardik’s presence in the Indian cricket team practice session suggests that he is focused on representing his country on the global stage.
Mumbai Indians coach Mark Boucher acknowledged the challenges Hardik faced in his new leadership role and expressed confidence that it would be a learning experience for him. While there were doubts about his selection for the World Cup, Boucher stood by him and entrusted him with a key leadership position. With India set to compete against some of the best teams in world cricket, Hardik’s focus will be crucial to their success in T20 World Cup 2024.
