MUMBAI:

Indian cricketer Hardik Pandya's wife, Natasa Stankovic, was spotted at Mumbai airport heading to Serbia with their son Agastya, while Hardik Pandya was notably absent.

Speculation surrounding their marriage has intensified after Stankovic posted Instagram photos of her packing, captioned with, “It's that time of the year,” accompanied by plane and house emojis.

Netizens voiced their worries about Hardik and Natasa, sharing heartfelt comments. One individual remarked, "Are they still together or not? This seems distasteful," while another speculated, "Maybe that's why Pandya didn't go to Sri Lanka for the series."

Yet another commenter observed, "Perhaps she's permanently leaving India... just look at the amount of luggage."

The couple has been under scrutiny since the conclusion of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, with reports suggesting turmoil in Hardik's personal life.

Meanwhile, discussions about potential leadership changes in the Indian T20I squad have surfaced, with Suryakumar Yadav emerging as a frontrunner to possibly replace Rohit Sharma. Concerns over Hardik's fitness have kept him out of the Sri Lanka ODI series, citing personal reasons.

During and after the IPL, rumours swirled about a possible strain between Hardik Pandya and Natasa Stankovic. They were seldom seen together during the IPL and the T20 World Cup, including at events such as the Anant Ambani wedding, where Hardik was notably active.
