After India's star all-rounder Hardik Pandya played a memorable knock of 59 runs off just 28 balls to push India’s total to 175 in the first innings in the first T20I against South Africa, his girlfriend Mahieka Sharma took to her Instagram stories to praise her boyfriend.

Taking to her Instagram stories, Mahieka shared a picture of Hardik Pandya celebrating his fifty on television while writing “King” to depict the greatness of the all-rounder. While also sharing a post-match speech of Hardik Pandya on social media on her Instagram story, Mahieka wrote “My hero,” while re-sharing other posts that lauded Hardik Pandya with “Guess Who Is Back” comments.

Hardik Pandya returns with a bang

Notably, Hardik Pandya is returning after a two-month layoff due to a quadriceps injury he sustained during the Asia Cup 2025. Pandya’s return to the game was a massive boost for the team as his contribution with the bat helped India push past a solid total after a shaky mid-innings collapse.

Notably, Hardik Pandya also contributed with the ball to pick up the crucial wicket of David Miller, who otherwise could have turned into a nightmare for the hosts.

Pandya and his relationship with Mahieka Sharma

Hardik Pandya also thanked his girlfriend before his massive comeback in the match. He mentioned that she was a strong pillar of support during his injury setback and also credited how his life changed after her arrival.

For the unaware, Hardik parted ways with Natasa Stankovic in 2024 after four years of marriage and has their child, Agastya, who currently lives with the father. Pandya just recently began dating Mahieka, an IFA model and Instagram influencer, with whom he also announced their relationship publicly a few days back.
