India all-rounder Hardik Pandya and his brother Krunal Pandya held a red-theme party on Christmas. Glimpses of the celebration were dropped on Instagram by Krunal. “Merry Christmas from Pandya boys,” he wrote in the caption. The duo were joined by their kids as they posed in front of a decorated Christmas tree. Twinning in all-red ensembles, Hardik and Krunal were spotted sharing laughter while sitting next to their children.
In one of those pictures, Hardik had his son Agastya and nephew Kavir on his lap. Krunal’s younger child, Vayu, was also there to celebrate his first Christmas. In another frame, the Pandya brothers were captured lying on the floor, supposedly after the party was wrapped up.
The post attracted responses from many fans. They wished Hardik and Krunal a “Merry Christmas” in the comment section which was filled with red heart emojis. Krunal’s wife Pankhuri Sharma Pandya also reacted to the post and commented, “My bestest boys.” Overwhelmed by the love for their children, a user called Hardik and Krunal “the best fathers in the world.”
Now, let’s get back to the time when Hardik Pandya turned Santa Claus for his son Agastya. On Christmas of 2020, the Indian cricketer posted few pictures with his ex-wife Natasa Stankovic and their newborn child.
Decked up in a Santa attire and artificial beard, Hardik was captured holding Agastya in his hand while standing next to Natasa. The post, however, has been taken from Instagram. Hardik and Natasa announced their separation in July after “being together for four years”. They welcomed their son Agastya in July 2020.
Hardik was last seen in action for Baroda in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. He struck 246 runs and picked up six wickets in seven matches as his team finished their campaign in the semi-finals. Pandya has not been named in the Baroda squad for the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy. He is likely to rejoin the team for the knockouts.
Pandya has not featured in any international match apart from the shortest format since the ODI World Cup last year. He sustained an ankle injury in a match against Bangladesh and was out for an indefinite period. Despite his long absence from the 50-over format, Hardik will hope to secure a place in India’s squad for the 2025 Champions Trophy.
