Hardik Pandya's fan traveled from Odisha to Bengaluru on cycle to meet him | InstagramHardik Pandya, a top all-rounder for Team India, was met by a young fan who cycled for over twelve days. In order to complete his injury recuperation and prepare for his future in white-ball, Pandya has moved to Bengaluru to train frequently at the Centre of Excellence.

To meet his idol, Pandya, the young fan rode a bicycle from Odisha to Bengaluru. In order to meet Pandya in person, he rode his bike about 2000 kilometers over ten or twelve days.

The admirer gave Hardik an idol of Lord Jagannath during the exchange. Pandya spent time with the child, posed for a picture, and took the present with warmth. According to reports, Pandya organized the youngster's trip from Bengaluru to Odisha so he wouldn't have to ride his bike back. Fans have widely praised his actions on social media.

Pandya, who spent the last ten years largely in Mumbai, used to train at MI's Ghansoli training complex before moving permanently to Bengaluru to routinely train at the BCCI's CoE.

However, Pandya's daily trip from his Lower Parel home to the training center was extremely difficult due to Mumbai traffic. He made the decision to move to Bengaluru in order to train at CoE as a result.
