Hardik Pandya has had quite an eventful 2020 to say the least. He got engaged to his Serbian girlfriend Natasa Stankovic on New Year's day in Dubai, got married to her during the COVID-19 lockdown in May, and then became father of a baby boy on July 30. The couple named their first child Agastya.
On the career front, Hardik won the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 title with Mumbai Indians and was recently named Player of the Series for his blazing form with the bat, helping India beat Australia 2-1 in the three-match T20I series in Australia.
All this happened after a rough 2019, where he got involved in the Koffee with Karan controversy and later suffered a serious back injury which required a surgery, putting him out of cricket for nearly six months.
Hardik has shown that life always gives you opportunites to turn setbacks into comebacks, as he is now rated among the top white-ball finishers in world cricket and India hopes he will play a key role in the three World Cups lined up from 2021-2023.
Not part of the Test squad, Hardik returned home earlier this month after being away for nearly four months due to the IPL in UAE and six white-ball matches in Australia.
