The relationship between Hardik Pandya and Natasa Stankovic has been a hot topic on social media recently. Fans have been buzzing with questions about their dynamic, especially after Natasa remained silent on social media following Team India's T20 World Cup win. Natasa, who is currently in Mumbai where Team India celebrated their victory with an open bus roadshow, added to the speculation by posting a story on her Instagram right before the team's arrival in New Delhi.
Despite her past support for Hardik during IPL and India games, Natasa's absence from this year's events has led to rumors about their relationship status. Fans have been quick to criticize her for not acknowledging Hardik's T20 World Cup win, with some even speculating about a possible divorce. However, neither Hardik nor Natasa has addressed these rumors, leaving fans to continue speculating about the state of their relationship.
After the Indian team returned from Barbados on July 4, Natasa took to Instagram to share a cryptic post, which has been a common theme on her social media feed recently.
The post included a video of her preparing for an event, along with a message that hinted at something significant.
"God, fix me when I'm the problem, and protect me when I'm not," the message read.
Rumors circulated about Pandya video calling Natasa from the field after the final match against South Africa in Barbados, sparking speculation about the status of their relationship. However, the truth behind these rumors remains unknown, leaving fans to ponder the nature of their connection.
Hardik Pandya faced criticism and boos from fans during the IPL 2024 season when he was appointed captain of the Mumbai Indians, replacing Rohit Sharma. The team's poor performance, finishing at the bottom of the table, only added to the backlash against Pandya. However, he made a remarkable comeback during the T20 World Cup, showcasing his all-round abilities and playing a crucial role in India's victory.
In the T20 World Cup final, Pandya defended 16 runs against formidable opponents like David Miller and Keshav Mahraj, securing a thrilling 7-run win for India in Barbados. Despite his lackluster performance in the IPL, where he scored only 216 runs and took 11 wickets in 14 matches, Pandya excelled in the T20 World Cup, scoring 144 runs and taking 11 wickets throughout the tournament. His heroic final over in the final match proved to be the turning point, leading India to victory.
