Hardik Pandya pens down an emotional message for his late father
India cricketers Hardik Pandya and Krunal Pandya lost their father, Himanshu Pandya on Saturday (January 16) to cardiac arrest. Current and former India cricketers paid condolences to the Pandya brothers on social media.
Krunal was with the Baroda team playing in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy when he was informed about the news. He soon left the bio-bubble to complete his father’s last rites at their residence.
Rest in peace my King, says Hardik Pandya
In the meantime, the younger Pandya penned down an emotional message for his father on Instagram, posting some pictures with him. The all-rounder credited all his and Krunal’s success to his father and also added that the house will be bereft of entertaining in his absence. He also went on to mention that the whole family is proud of him for the way he lived all his life and also termed his father as ‘King’.

Meanwhile, Hardik Pandya is currently away from international cricket after a busy IPL and the Australia tour. He wasn’t part of the Test squad but did well in the ODI and T20I leg of the tour. Krunal was playing SMAT20 before the tragic news arrived and it is not clear yet if he will return to play for Baroda for the rest of the tournament.
