The Baroda-born cricketer has been a match-winner for India in important games, whether with the bat or the ball; he has delivered during pressure situations for the Men in Blue. He has been featuring for the national team in the ongoing 2026 T20 World Cup.
Hardik Pandya will be featuring on Sunday, 22nd February, in the upcoming Super 8 game against South Africa, at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad.

Hardik Pandya and Nataša Stanković got married in a court ceremony on May 31, 2020. They later held a grand, formal wedding ceremony (renewing vows) on February 14, 2023, in Udaipur. The two got separated on July 18, 2024, following four years of marriage.
Hardik Pandya and Mahieka Sharma confirmed their relationship last year in October. Later, they were also spotted celebrating the new year together. However, despite being in a relationship with Mahieka, he did not forget his father’s responsibility, as he gifted him a car.
Agastya has also been spotted while Hardik has been away from international cricket, and practices on his own. Despite the separation, the ex-couple has been praised for their mature approach to co-parenting their child.
Hardik shares heartfelt video on girlfriend's birthday
Pandya has been dating model Mahieka Sharma, and the two have confirmed their relationship through social media posts. Mahieka has been spotted during the matches travelling with Hardik. Recently posted a romantic video to mark Mahieka’s 25th birthday. The two are yet to get engaged or married.
Previously, Hardik Pandya was trolled by his former head coach Ashish Nehra for often changing his girlfriend. Hardik has not been at his best with the bat, scoring 87 runs in just four innings; however, he has picked 5 wickets and also bowled brilliantly in the game against Pakistan.
In the 2024 T20 World Cup edition, Hardik played some crucial innings and picked 11 wickets, and was important for India’s win over South Africa. He will need to play a similar kind of role in the upcoming game against the Proteas in order to help India continue their winning streak.
