The all-around player for the Indian cricket team, Hardik Pandya, has been in the headlines lately due to several rumors that he and his wife, Natasa Stankovic, were divorcing. Hardik's absence from the first group of Indian cricket team members to go to New York ahead of the T20 World Cup 2024 sparked more rumors that he was vacationing in an unidentified foreign country.

Although Hardik and Natasa have not commented on the divorce rumors, the all-round player gave a significant update on social media. With the tagline "On national duty," Hardik posted images from the Indian cricket team's practices to demonstrate that he had joined the team before the event.
Many of the things he is going through seem, in my opinion, a little out of place. As Hardik's leadership develops, there will undoubtedly be a learning curve. After MI's final game on May 17, Mumbai Indians coach Mark Boucher remarked in a press conference, "While times are tough now, a couple of things will pass and it'll make him a tougher leader and it'll certainly grow him in the role as well."
As captain and a player, Hardik had a dismal IPL 2024 season. The all-around player broke the ten-year reign of Rohit Sharma when he was named Mumbai Indians captain before of the season; this decision was not well accepted by some members of the fan base.
