Hardik Pandya has faced several challenges recently, both on and off the field. Leading the Mumbai Indians through a tough IPL season that saw the team finish at the bottom of the league, Hardik has also been the subject of personal turmoil. Rumours of separation with his wife, Natasa Stankovic, have been circulating, although neither has made any public statements.
The Indian cricket team, led by captain Rohit Sharma and all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, has commenced their journey to the USA for the T20 World Cup 2024, set to begin on June 1. Arriving at Mumbai Airport, the first group of players included Jasprit Bumrah, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant, Kuldeep Yadav, and Axar Patel, accompanied by the support staff and head coach Rahul Dravid.
Although initial reports suggested that both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli would be among the first batch to depart, Virat was absent from the group. Another absentee was Hardik Pandya. Initially expected to travel with the first batch, Hardik’s absence raised eyebrows, as the rumours of his divorce with Natasa continue to grab attention on social media.
