5 adorable Hardik Pandya and Natasa Stankovic posts on Instagram
Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya has made a name for himself with his exceptional performances on the field. He has been a match-winner for India in all departments, especially in white-ball cricket.
Due to fitness issues, Pandya has not played any Test matches in recent years, but he has remained an integral part of the ODI and T20I squads. 2022 has been the best year of his career so far. He left Mumbai Indians and became the captain of Gujarat Titans (GT).
Not many expected him to lead GT to the trophy in their debut season, but Hardik Pandya did a fantastic job as captain and guided his home franchise to the championship. Soon after, the BCCI named him captain of the Indian team for the T20I series against Ireland.
Hardik's career resurgance has been one of the biggest talking points of the year. He has repeatedly stated in his interviews that along with his fitness team, his family has played a huge role in his success. His wife Natasa Stankovic has always been present in the stands to cheer for her husband.
Natasa and Hardik have also shared some adorable posts with each other on their respective Instagram handles. Here's a collection of their top five Instagram posts:
