Round of rumors between Hardik and Krunal Pandya: Mahika Sharma and absence in the final increased discussions

New Delhi. India created history by winning the final of T20 World Cup 2026 at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Under the leadership of captain Suryakumar Yadav, the ‘Men in Blue’ defeated New Zealand by 96 runs and became the first team to win the title for the second consecutive time. This success was even more special on the home ground, but amidst the celebration of this victory, the eyes of Indian cricket fans were now on Pandya brothers Hardik and Krunal Pandya.

The rumors intensified when Krunal Pandya and his wife Pankhuri were not seen in the final. While younger brother Hardik Pandya was seen with his girlfriend Mahika Sharma throughout the tournament. Even on social media, Krunal did not share any congratulatory message on Hardik’s victory, due to which sour discussions between the two brothers gained momentum.

Hardik Pandya is living separately from his brother since a long time. Krunal and Pankhuri don’t even follow his latest girlfriend on any social media. Rumors are that they don’t support his flamboyant lifestyle.

Hardik and Krunal played together for Mumbai Indians in the IPL and played an important role in helping the team win the title thrice. His journey from 2016 to 2021 was successful. However, now both are focusing on different teams. Hardik is again with Mumbai Indians, while Krunal is part of Royal Challengers Bangalore.

According to sources, differences between the two started when Hardik got divorced from Natasha Stankovic. After the divorce, Krunal and his wife were seen with Hardik’s ex-wife and son Agastya, leading to rumors of tension in the family.

Meanwhile, fans are discussing on social media what really is the sourness between Hardik and Krunal. However, both the players have not yet given any public statement on any dispute. This matter remains a topic of discussion for cricket fans and an update on this is expected in the coming time.

These family rumors have also become a major issue during the celebration of India’s T20 World Cup victory, due to which the Pandya family and cricket fans are constantly keeping an eye on it.
