Returning to the Mumbai Indians as captain, he faced backlash from fans frustrated with the team’s performance, ultimately finishing last in the league.

Hardik Pandya and Natasa Stankovic’s Divorce
Natasa Stankovic and Hardik Pandya have decided to part ways due to their differing lifestyles. Sources say that while Hardik is known for his vibrant personality and love for the spotlight, Natasa found it hard to keep up with his energetic lifestyle.
Their relationship faced challenges as Hardik enjoyed being in the public eye, while Natasa preferred a more private life. This contrast created tension between them, leading to their eventual separation.
A source stated, “Natasa found Hardik’s flamboyance overwhelming. Although she tried to adapt, it became exhausting, and they realised they were growing apart.”
On July 18, 2024, they announced their separation after four years of marriage, stating their mutual respect for each other. They will continue to co-parent their son, Agastya, focusing on his well-being.
As rumours swirl about new relationships following their split, fans speculate about Hardik’s possible connection with British singer Jasmin Walia, based on their similar social media posts.

Notably, in a tense match against Pakistan, Pandya’s pivotal contributions helped secure India’s victory. His ability to deliver under pressure has solidified his status as an indispensable player for the team.
As he stands on the cusp of potential glory, Pandya exemplifies the spirit of resilience and determination, while dealing with one of the hardest times of parting his ways with his wife Natasha.
He has transformed from a player in turmoil to a key figure leading India’s charge towards their first T20 World Cup title in 11 years.
This birthday serves as a reminder of Pandya’s inspiring comeback, showcasing not only his talent but also his tenacity. As fans celebrate his achievements, the hope is that he continues to shine on the world stage, proving that hard work and perseverance can overcome any obstacle.
