Hardik Pandya will be leading India’s T20I side in the upcoming series against Sri Lanka and is expected to replace Rohit Sharma as the full-time T20 skipper. The Pandya brothers and Amit Shah hail from Gujarat and that can be said to be a connection behind the meeting. Meanwhile, their fans started speculating that the cricketers might enter politics.
Earlier on December 29, the Pandya brothers met Kannada film star and ‘KGF’ actor Yash. Hardik shared pictures posing with Yash and Krunal, while he was also spotted sharing a hug with the actor. Sharing the pictures, Hardik wrote, “Kgf 3” in the caption.
