Hardik Pandya shares several pictures from his younger days
Hardik Pandya has undergone a drastic transformation on and off the field in recent years. From a young boy in Baroda, Hardik is now regarded as India’s premier seam bowling all-rounder.
The 27-year-old took to Instagram Stories on Thursday as he looked back at his journey by sharing some of his old pictures.
In a selfie from 2010, a young Hardik Pandya is seen wearing shades with a distinct hairstyle. He then shared a picture from the same day, but without any sunglasses on. In another picture, Hardik is seen wearing an orange jersey and drinking juice while on the field.
The all-rounder also posted some throwback pictures with his brothers Krunal and Vaibhav, cheekily trolling them in the process. While he called Vaibhav a charmer in one, another picture with Krunal had Hardik praising him for his style.
Hardik Pandya later ended the throwback span with a recent click in which the all-rounder is seen posing with the victory sign.
