Hardik Pandya Family - Father, Mother, Wife, Brother & Kids

In white-ball cricket, Hardik Pandya is nowadays one of the best all-rounders due to his phenomenal capability to contribute on the field in all three departments (batting, bowling, and fielding). Back in childhood, Pandya struggled to have a quality life as his family lacked finances. However, with his family’s unwavering support and love, he overcame all the problems and achieved his dream of playing international cricket for India.  

During his inspiring journey, his family stood behind him like a rock. Today after seven years of his international career, Pandya has earned the reputation of a reliable all-rounder in the Indian cricket team. In the future, he might be seen leading the team in T20 Internationals as a regular skipper. All this has been possible today due to Pandya’s diligence and his family’s backing.
