Hardik Pandya Wiki, Age, Height, Affairs, Wife, Biography & More

New Delhi: Injury-ravaged India all-rounder Hardik Pandya has got the all-clear to lead Gujarat Titans in the upcoming IPL after a general assessment at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru where he bowled and also passed the ‘Yo-Yo’ Test comfortably.

The BCCI is checking on all its centrally contracted players — injured or otherwise — before the IPL and Pandya’s performance, during his two days at the NCA, can also be seen as a good sign for Indian cricket.”Let’s make it clear. Fitness test clearance is only for those who are coming back from injury.

In the case of Hardik, it was about getting a general fitness assessment going into the grueling IPL season,” a BCCI source told PTI on conditions of anonymity. “He is an asset and one needed to check his current fitness standards,” he added.

In fact, in his fitness assessment module, the NCA team didn’t even mandate him to bowl but the all-rounder apparently “insisted” on it to show that he is on track to make a comeback to the Indian team. “He didn’t need to bowl at NCA but he has bowled for a considerable time and in the range of 135 Kmph.

However, as per information received one player, who would be slightly disappointed with his current fitness status is the out-of-favor opener, Prithvi Shaw. The former U-19 World Cup-winning captain, who is not a part of the central contract was also at the NCA to provide an update on his fitness status and the result wasn’t exactly satisfactory.

The current Yo-Yo test qualification score is 16.5 for men and it has been learned that the Mumbai opener has scored less than 15. “These are just fitness updates. Obviously, it doesn’t stop Prithvi from playing for Delhi Capitals in IPL. It’s just a fitness parameter and not the be-all and end-all,” the source said. “Look, he has played three Ranji matches back-to-back. Once you play three first-class games on the bounce, the fatigue can also affect your Yo-Yo score,” he added.

Gujarat Titans have been one of the most exciting teams to watch this season mostly because of the way they have played this season. They have won games from situations no one would have expected them to win. Each time they have had different players putting their hands up. It also shows in the way that out of the 8 wins they have had this season, 7 different players have got player of the match.

When asked about this in the post-match presentation Hardik Pandya said, “That’s the beauty of this team, people coming in and showing what they can do in clutch situations is becoming quite a habit, something I don’t mind happening. We always back them to do it, but they’re defying odds time and again.”

When he was specifically asked about Rahul Tewatia and David Miller and Rashid Khan, he said, “Credit to their confidence level the self-belief that they’re having, making sure they can finish games. To be very honest, we don’t play to what people say, at the end of the day, it’s up to yourself to improve, that’s what we want. I have had a lot of chats with Rahul (Tewatia), you can see that self-belief, if you can finish games like this, you need to be super cool. That makes you think that 7, 8, or even 9 can make you win.”

Gujarat Titans skipper Hardik Panday has dedicated his team’s recent victory against the Royal Challengers Bangalore to the people of Gujarat to commemorate Gujarat’s foundation day. The team will also be celebrating the momentous occasion at their hotel as Pandya had said that even though the team is not at their home ground, they will mark the celebrations.

The Titans stand on top of the  IPL 2022points table with eight wins from nine matches and have displayed some great potential in the tournament so far as Pandya’s captaincy has worked very well for the team in their inaugural IPL season.

Pandya, on his social media handles, shared his pictures from seven years ago alongside some recent pictures and thanked all his supporters throughout his journey since 2015. He shared his picture posing with the IPL trophy in the Mumbai Indians jersey and a current picture in the GT jersey celebrating his 100 games in the IPL.

He captioned it: “Dedicating this win to the people of Gujarat. Gujarat Divas ni Hardik Shubhechha (Greetings on Gujarat Day). Grateful for your wishes on reaching 100 IPL games. From a kid playing his 1st IPL match in 2015 to captaining a team in my 100^th, it’s a dream come true. Believe in the power of your dreams.”

With the victory against Royal Challengers Bangalore, Pandya completed his 100^th IPL game and he marked it with a victory. With a successful run so far, the Titans have 16 points under their belt as they have almost sealed a birth for the playoffs. Pandya had to miss one of the games due to injury, but in the remaining eight games, the skipper has scored 308 runs with his highest score of an unbeaten 52-ball 87 coming against the Rajasthan Royals.

From being one of the most exciting talents to becoming a household name in Indian cricket, there's no denying that Team India all-rounder and Mumbai Indians (MI) superstar Hardik Pandya has carved out a niche for himself in the gentlemen's game across all formats. Team India all-rounder Hardik, who is one-half of the Pandya brothers started his cricket journey with brother Krunal in Gujarat's Baroda. 

Hardik joined the most successful IPL franchise - Mumbai Indians a year before Krunal at his base price of INR 10 lakh in 2015. Spotted by then-coach John Wright, Hardik not only went on to become a seasoned campaigner for the Mumbai Paltan but the young all-rounder also cemented his place in the star-studded white-ball squad of Team India.

One of the highest-paid cricketers on the Indian team, Hardik has promoted to Grade A contract by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) earlier in April.

From living out of a matchbox-sized apartment in Baroda to owning luxurious houses there and in Mumbai, Hardik Panday has, in his own words, progressed "leaps and bounds". As a teen, Hardik would travel to towns and villages in Gujarat to get paid a few hundred rupees to play cricket. In 2018, Mumbai Indians forked out Rs 11 crore (about US$1.6 million) to retain him in the IPL. On and off the cricket field Hardik's has been an eventful journey - over the course of which he has realized dreams millions aspire to but rarely fulfill. In this conversation, before the second leg of the 2021 IPL began in the UAE, he looks back at how far he has come.

Yes, multiple times. When Amit sir came, he asked for us first. Someone came and said: "Mukesh sir [Ambani, owner of Mumbai Indians] is calling because Amit Ji wants to meet you guys. I took our father as well. He was blushing. I could see his watery eyes - he was not crying, but just when you get overwhelmed and overawed.

It was one of those memories that I and Krunal will always remember of our father being so proud. Amitabh Bachchan, the legend, is asking for you. There were bigger people than us there, but he is greeting us first and said that to our father. My father must have told 1000 people about that incident.

My father's heart must have been flooded with so many emotions because of the kind of struggles he had. He had seen a lot of ups and downs. I always tell people, now that I am a father, what he did for us at that age - for him to leave everything [Pandya senior moved the family from Surat to Baroda in the mid-1990s, so Krunal could join Kiran More's cricket academy] and to focus on his sons so they could achieve something in their lives… if I have to take a call right now to leave everything - by all means I love my son, but that will be a very, very challenging call.

A lot of times I have met people who I always thought are just very far from Hardik and Krunal's [world], but when we get the opportunity to meet them, the kind of respect we get is something we are very proud of. More than anything, it is just that respect, the kind of conversations I can have with lots of people.

Our constant effort has been to become better human beings. And in that process, I realized people like good human beings. We are not perfect but we are improving day by day. Cricket is there, but the main priority is to become a better human being.

Firstly, financially we got a little stable. That was a big change for us more than anything else. I kind of got fame pretty quickly, I must say - I did not get a lot of time to cope with it. It was literally, like, from zero to 100.

I accept my flaws or I give myself that benefit of the doubt that, okay, you were young. In the early two years [of my career], maybe I was little here, little there, but we were a close family. There is absolutely one thing clear in our family: if I'm wrong means I'm wrong; there's no sugarcoating. That makes us a strong family because everyone can have an opinion. Krunal and I leave Hardik Pandya the cricketer and Krunal Pandya the cricketer outside the house. In our family, if someone is flying, they make sure to pull them down.

When we came to Baroda, our house would have been about 50 square feet, and four of us lived there. I am not exaggerating. We still have that house - a one-bedroom kitchen. The kitchen would be the size of a small washroom. People keep asking us brothers how did we brothers grow tall so fast. We did not have a lot of space, but we had a monkey bar in the house and I used to hang upside down on it and do all sorts of things.

Now we have a home theatre. I have a gym inside my house because I am very private and don't step out much anymore. I have created a shoot-room. Natasa [Stankovic, Hardik's wife] loves to dance, so we have a dancing space.

I was like, it's fine. My brother is making Rs 2 crore, I am picked for MI for Rs 10 lakhs, but from my brand [endorsements] and as an India player, I was [still] making about two crores. So we are stable. When I got 11 crores and Krunal got nine crores [after both brothers were retained in 2018 by Mumbai] - so 20 crores - we were very much neutral and grounded. It didn't excite us that much. Obviously, we were happy, but it didn't change a lot of things. We were still the same as before, but with money there was stability.

The confidence part is simply from where I have come in life. I don't have anything to lose when I go on the field. I don't have anything to prove to anybody. When I walk in, I always feel I have an aura, which is for me to feel I belong there. I feel like I am the king there. When I go to bat, I think they [opposition] are like, "Now he's going to do something". That gives me confidence.
