Hardik Pandya’s Family

Hardik Pandya is one of the top all-rounders in world cricket right now. He has also proved himself to be a capable captain after he led his IPL team, Gujarat Titans, to their maiden IPL title in 2022. The Baroda-based all-rounder had a rough childhood. His family did not have enough money, and there was a time when he survived on instant noodles.

Hardik's journey is the kind of rags to riches where the all-rounder had to pass through his shares of hurdles in the quest of glory.

Financial constraint served a deterrent during the player's early days of playing cricket. The player would survive on noodles both in morning and evening as the family situation wasn't ideal for him to follow a healthy diet.

There were times when Hardik had to borrow cricket equipment from the Baroda Cricket Association (BCA) at the age of 17.

Moving forward to the present scenario, Hardik has a lavish life by the dint of his hard work and determination on the field. His family is well settled with the time the player grew by leaps and bounds.

Himanshu Pandya enrolled both of his sons in former Indian player Kiran More's academy in Vadodara (Baroda), Gujarat. Himanshu had suffered numerous heart attacks during Hardik's playing times and the family was fortunate to take care of his hospital expenses.
