Krunal Pandya recently shared an emotional and heartfelt post on Instagram dedicated to his brother, Hardik Pandya. In the post, Krunal reflected on their relationship, Hardik’s challenges, and his unwavering love and support for his sibling. The post caught the attention of many, including Hardik’s wife, Natasa Stankovic, who liked the post.

“It’s almost been a decade since Hardik and I started playing professional cricket. And the last few days have been like a fairy tale that we’ve dreamt of. Like every countryman, I’ve lived this through our team’s heroics and I couldn’t be more emotional with my brother being at the heart of it,” Krunal wrote.

He opened up about Hardik’s struggles and how it pained him as a brother to see the negativity directed at Hardik. “From booing to people saying all kinds of nasty things, at the end of the day, we all forgot that he is just a human being who also has emotions,” Krunal shared. He expressed pride in Hardik’s resilience and his unwavering focus on winning the World Cup.

“I have immense respect for you, my bachhu,” Krunal concluded, highlighting how Hardik always bounces back stronger despite facing criticism.

The post has garnered over two million likes, with both Hardik Pandya and Natasa Stankovic among those who liked it. This is the first time since India’s T20 World Cup win that Natasa has reacted to a post about Hardik, amid ongoing rumors about their potential divorce. These rumors started from a Reddit post claiming that the couple had stopped posting about each other on social media.

In response to Krunal’s post, Hardik commented, “Love you, my brother. You are my pillar of strength. Nothing would have been possible without you.” Krunal’s wife, Pankhuri Sharma Pandya, also reacted with a comment saying, “My boys,” followed by a heart emoji.
