Fans on social media are speculating about a possible rift between Hardik Pandya and Krunal Pandya after Krunal and his wife did not publicly congratulate Hardik following India’s ICC Men's T20 World Cup victory. Their absence from the stadium and social media silence sparked debate, though many users say the speculation may be exaggerated and the brothers have not addressed it

Speculation about a possible rift between Indian cricketers and brothers Hardik Pandya and Krunal Pandya has been circulating online, with fans closely analysing their recent social media activity and public appearances.

Silence after T20 World Cup win raises eyebrows

The rumours gained traction after India’s historic victory at the ICC Men's T20 World Cup. While the nation celebrated Hardik Pandya’s crucial role in the tournament and praised his redemption arc, fans noticed an unexpected silence from his brother Krunal Pandya and sister-in-law Pankhuri Sharma.

Many pointed out that neither of them posted a congratulatory message for Hardik on social media. Their absence from the stadium during the celebrations also caught attention, prompting discussions among fans about whether everything was fine between the brothers. Some suspect Hardik's special bond with new girlfriend & fashion model Mahieka Sharma could be a reason behind it. 25-year-old Mahieka was seen travelling with 32-year-old Hardik all through out the T20 World Cup and was ardently cheering for him at the stadium. Hardik was also criticised by netizens for tagging along Mahieka during all his trips and not looking focused for the important games.
