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 on Thursday for the Sri Lanka tour. Hardik Pandya, the strongest contender for T20 captaincy after Rohit, could have been given the captaincy for this tour, but his fitness is believed to be the reason for not giving Hardik the T20 captaincy.
Suryakumar Yadav is now the new captain of T20, Rohit Sharma is the captain in ODI. 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 very troubled due to injuries and he 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 might be out of the Sri Lanka tour but Gambhir demanded the return of senior players in the team. Along with Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli is also a part of the ODI team. 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 is also a topic of discussion. Hardik Pandya and Natasha have got divorced. Both of them 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 told 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 had a court marriage during the lockdown. After this, three years after the birth of the son in 2020, Hardik Pandya and Natasha got married again in February 2023 with great pomp according to Hindu and Christian customs. Whether it is personal life or professional, Hardik Pandya's troubles are increasing. Hardik Pandya, who has been constantly on the target of 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 the Gambhir tenure, Hardik will have to pay more attention to his fitness, otherwise his problems may increase further in the coming days.
