Hardik has been out of action since the group-stage clash against Sri Lanka of the Asia Cup 2025, as he missed the final of the event and the away Australia series, along with the home ODI series against South Africa. However, his eyes will be keen on the upcoming T20 World Cup 2026 in India and Sri Lanka.
“This isn't about headlines or who clicked what, it's about basic respect. Women deserve dignity. Everyone deserves boundaries. To the media brothers who work hard every day: I respect your hustle, and I always cooperate. But I'm requesting you all, please be a little more mindful. Not everything needs to be captured. Not every angle needs to be taken. Let's keep some humanity in this game. Thank you.” Pandya shared on social media.
Hardik made his relationship with the fashion model official by sharing photos of them from a beach in October. The duo was spotted at the Mumbai airport, which marked their first public appearance together.
