Yesterday, the cricket fans saw one of the best performances by any Indian cricketer ever. Not just this, the on-field and off-ground bond between Krunal Pandya and Hardik filled the whole stadium with tears and celebration. What a debut Krunal made, the world record in the first ODI game by scoring the fastest 50 ever in just 26 balls.
Truly Impressive!!! Today is another day of celebration as Krunal turns 30 and Hardik is getting emotional for “big bro.”

The duos are two arms of the Indian cricket team where Hardik being the right-handed batsman and right-arm bowler, Kunal is a lefty. The best part is both are all-rounder.
Personal Life
If you think the similarities between the two are limited to the cricket stadium, you are wrong. Hardik and Krunal, both married to professional models. Pankhudi Sharma, Krunal’s better half, is, however, not a die-hard fan of cricket but she loves watching her husband’s cricket game.

And we don’t have to mention who is Natasa Stankovic, her relationship with Hardik gained immense spotlight after Nach Baliye.
Krunal is also an ace cricketer like Hardik and he has proven this many times. It’s just the beginning but Krunal’s debut has filled everyone with hope and raised expectations not only among fans but teammates as well.
