Natasa Stankovic drops cryptic hits behind separation with Hardik Pandya

Indian cricketer Hardik Pandya has been in the news for his high-profile separation from his wife Natasa Stankovic. The pair had been in the news for the last few months after rumours began floating about their marriage being in trouble. The news was confirmed mere days after Hardik Pandya came back to India from the T20 World Cup. 

The Indian cricketer put out a statement on social media confirming his separation from the Bollywood actress. On Monday, Natasa Stankovic dropped cryptic hints alluding to the reason behind the separation. 

Natasa Stankovic had liked a few pictures with quotes of cheating. This has left a lot of fans confused as more information continues to tumble out. The two had married each other in 2020 at the height of COVID-19 and then renewed their vows for a second time a few years later. 

Is Hardik Pandya not considered for Duleep Trophy?

While most of the big-name stars will play in the Duleep Trophy tournament, Hardik Pandya will miss the action. It is learned that the BCCI wants to consider the specialist White-ball player. The last time Hardik Pandya played Test cricket was in 2018 during the tour of England at Southampton. 

Hardik Pandya has been in decent form with the bat and ball and was one of the stars to help India win the T20 World Cup. His IPL future with Mumbai Indians has hit a huge roadblock as there are reports that suggest that Pandya could be released ahead of the huge IPL 2025 auctions. 

Meanwhile, former Indian fielding coach R. Sridhar spoke to the Hindustan Times and revealed the reason behind Suryakumar Yadav was given the T20I captaincy. Hardik Pandya was thought to be the favourite for the job before the Indian selectors gave Yadav the captaincy. 

R. Sridhar said, “Some of the matches he has captained India in when Rohit and Hardik weren’t around have given confidence to BCCI that he can do an excellent job. He is someone who has exhibited leadership qualities throughout his tenure with the Indian team. That held him in good stead, again falling back to his rapport with other players and how they look up to him.”
