The last few weeks have been a rollercoaster ride for India allrounder Hardik Pandya. From winning the T20 World Cup to announcing separation from his wife, Hardik Pandya has gone through a lot of ups and downs in recent times.

During the IPL, he was constantly targeted by the fans for replacing Rohit Sharma as the Mumbai Indians captain. Hardik Pandya was booed and abused wherever he went during the IPL. His poor performance only made things worse for him.

However, the allrounder redeemed himself in style by starring with both bat and ball in India's triumphant campaign at the T20 World Cup in June. He scored 144 runs at an average of 48 and a strike-rate of more than 150 and also picked up 11 wickets as India won the T20 World Cup after a gap of 17 years.

Unsurprisingly, he became the toast of the nation after his starring display. However, he suffered a big setback soon when the selectors and the team-management decided against appointing him as India's full-time T20I captain even though he was the vice-captain during the World Cup. Pandya then suffered another setback as he announced separation from his wife Natasa Stankovic.

Hardik Pandya meets his son:

After suffering a number of setbacks since the T20 World Cup victory, Hardik Pandya finally had a moment to rejoice as he reunited with his son Agastya. In a video that is going viral on social media, the star cricketer was seen with his son for the first time since the separation from Natasa Stankovic.

Pandya was all smiles as he played with his 4-year old son as well as his nephew. He was seen carrying both the boys before entering his car and driving off.

Watch:

Pandya will be seen in action next month when Team India take on Bangladesh in a three-match T20I series. He was last seen in action in July during the T20I series against Sri Lanka. The series is scheduled to be played from October 6 to 12.

Both the teams are currently playing the two-match Test series. India have taken an unassailable lead in the series by winning the first Test in Chennai. The second Test is scheduled to take place from September 27 in Kanpur.
