Indian allrounders Hardik and Krunal Pandya suffered a personal loss as their father, Himanshu Pandya, passed away on Saturday due to cardiac arrest. “Yes, Krunal Pandya has left the bubble. It is a personal tragedy, Baroda Cricket Association mourns this loss of Hardik and Krunal,” Baroda Cricket Association spokesperson said. It is known that Hardik Pandya was not picked for the Indian Test side as he was not fit for bowling lengthy spells, as he has been down several times in the past due to back injuries. It is known that Himanshu Pandya who ran a car finance business in Surat, Gujarat, played a crucial role in supporting Hardik and Krunal Pandya choose a career in professional cricket. Indian skipper Virat Kohli expressed shock and condoled the demise of Himanshu Pandya.
Heartbroken to hear about the demise of Hardik and Krunal's dad. Spoke to him a couple of times, looked a joyful and full of life person. May his soul rest in peace. Stay strong you two. @hardikpandya7 @krunalpandya24
