In light of persistent speculation regarding the marital status of Indian cricketer Hardik Pandya and his wife, Natasa Stankovic, the Serbian model has finally addressed the rumours. A video circulating on Reddit shows Natasa fielding a question from a journalist about the potential dissolution of her marriage. Her reply, “Thank you very much,” was cryptic, leaving many to interpret it as a subtle confirmation of the divorce. This video was also posted by @indiaforums on X, contributing to the widespread discussion.
Amid these rumours, there’s talk that Natasa might seek 70% of Pandya’s assets in any legal settlement that may arise. This speculation came when Hardik Pandya was notably missing from the visuals of the Indian cricket team’s departure to the USA for the T20 World Cup 2024.
During the IPL 2024 tournament, where Pandya led the Mumbai Indians, he faced significant criticism from fans. Interestingly, he did not make it into the initial group of players headed to the US for the T20 World Cup 2024. This group included other Mumbai Indians players who are also part of the national team, such as Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, and Suryakumar Yadav.
Following the Mumbai Indians’ exit from the competition, people expected the team members participating in the T20 World Cup to be among the first to arrive in the US. In the much-anticipated T20 World Cup, Hardik Pandya serves as the vice-captain of the Indian team under captain Rohit Sharma. Sharma, Head Coach Rahul Dravid and batting coach Vikram Rathore were part of the initial contingent of Indian cricketers to set off for the US.
