New Delhi: Team India's star all-rounder Hardik Pandya and actress Natasha Stankovic have got divorced. Pandya got two shocks in a single day. First, Pandya lost the opportunity to captain Team India and then the news of his divorce was confirmed.
BCCI announced the T20 and ODI team for the Sri Lanka tour on Thursday. Hardik Pandya, the strongest contender for the T20 captaincy after Rohit, could have been given the captaincy for this tour, but the reason for not giving Hardik the T20 captaincy is believed to be his fitness. Suryakumar Yadav is now the new captain of T20, Rohit Sharma is the captain in ODIs. At the same time, the responsibility of vice-captaincy in both T20 and ODI formats has been given to Shubman Gill.
In the last one year, Hardik has been troubled a lot due to injuries and had to sit on the bench in many important matches. While Team India's new coach Gautam Gambhir wants a long term option in T20 captaincy. Therefore, Suryakumar Yadav has been given the command of the T20 team.
This will be Gambhir's first assignment as Indian coach. Earlier it was being reported that Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma could be out of the Sri Lanka tour but Gambhir demanded the return of senior players to the team. Virat Kohli is also a part of the ODI team along with Rohit Sharma. Interestingly, both of them have not played any ODI match after the ODI World Cup 2023. The phase of change in the team continues during Gambhir's tenure. Meanwhile, Hardik Pandya's personal life also remains a topic of discussion. Hardik Pandya and Natasha have got divorced. Both revealed this decision on Thursday in a joint statement on their official Instagram account.
For a long time, news of their divorce was constantly coming out. But both of them did not say anything about it before Thursday. Pandya and Natasha also have a son. Both of them have decided to co-parent their son Agastya with mutual consent. Hardik said that both of them tried a lot to save this relationship but in the end both of them decided to separate for each other's good.
Let us tell you, Hardik Pandya and Natasha got married in May 2020. Both of them had a court marriage during the lockdown. After this, three years after the birth of their son in 2020, Hardik Pandya and Natasha got married again with great pomp in Hindu and Christian rituals in February 2023.
Be it personal life or professional life, Hardik Pandya's troubles are increasing. Hardik Pandya, who has been constantly targeted by fans since last year, played an important role in the team's victory in the T20 World Cup final. After this victory, the fans showered a lot of love on him. But, during Gambhir's tenure, Hardik will have to pay more attention to his fitness, otherwise his troubles may increase further in the coming days.
