The Indian cricketer Hardik Pandya is one of the most popular players of the country and currently he is leading team India in the shortest format of the game. Recently, he was in news because he tied the knot once again with his wife Natasa Stankovic in a Christian wedding which was attended by many including the couple’s 2 years old son. Earlier, Hardik and Natasa got married during the COVID-19 lockdown in 2020 in the Indian style.
Well, no official announcement has been made in this regard but it seems that the Indian selectors are planning to prepare a young team for the next T20 World Cup under the leadership of Hardik Pandya as senior cricketers Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and KL Rahul haven’t played T20 matches after the ICC T20 World Cup 2022.
Recently, Hardik Pandya achieved a milestone and surpassed some of the most popular sportspersons of the world but it is something that is not related to sports, it is related to social media platforms.
Hardik Pandya has touched the mark of 25 million followers on Instagram and with this, he beats some global sports celebrities such as Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer, Max Verstappen and Erling Haaland in this regard.
Hardik Pandya also made a special post informing his fans about the landmark; he shared a video with the caption, “2️⃣5️⃣ MILLION followers on Instagram! I am truly grateful from the bottom of my heart for all your love, all your wishes, all your constant support ❤️ Thank you 🙏🥰 My beautiful wife @natasastankovic__ decided to ask me 25 questions to celebrate the 25 million of us together 🫶🤗🤗”
