What’s life if not a little bit of multi-tasking? Hardik Pandya proved that it can be done in the most wholesome manner, as the Indian all-rounder shared a glimpse into how his son, a cute intruder-turned-workout buddy, helped him out with his physio.
In a chase against Australia in the semi-final of the Champions Trophy on Tuesday, which was dominated by Virat Kohli, Pandya came in and lit up the skies to leave his own mark.
When Kohli holed out in the deep in the 43rd over, leaving India five wickets down and still needing 40 runs to win, Hardik Pandya walked in to provide the impetus, scoring three sixes and a four to put India in a comfortable spot.
Pandya made 28 off 24 before being dismissed, while his teammate KL Rahul finished off the chase with ease, leading India to a 4-wicket win and the finals of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, where they will face New Zealand on March 9.
Meanwhile, as training and preparations are underway, Pandya shared a wholesome glimpse into fatherhood, showcasing a video of his son toying with him as the all-rounder went about his exercises.
In what many view as redemption for the 2023 World Cup final, India finally exorcised their demons to seal their spot in the final of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, defeating Australia by 4 wickets in Dubai on Tuesday.
An all-round bowling effort, spearheaded by pacer Mohammed Shami and mystery spinner Varun Chakaravarthy, followed by a sensational batting masterclass from none other than Virat Kohli himself, ensured that the Men in Blue sank the Aussies in some style.
India’s win against Australia on Monday marked the fifth time that India has made it to the final of a Champions Trophy. They will aim to win the competition for the third time when they take the field on Sunday.
