Cricket / Hardik Pandya shares first picture of his baby boy

Cricket Desk: Hardik Pandya, the Indian all-rounder, embraced fatherhood on Thursday, July 30. He and his spouse Natasa Stankovic gave birth to a baby boy. Earlier this year, the duo got engaged and after a rough 2019, Hardik made a great start to the current year. Then a couple of months earlier, he shared a post with Natasa, announcing the pregnancy of his wife, also a Serbian actress.

A picture on social media also did the rounds where Hardik and Natasa can be seen, engaged in a ritual, similar to a marriage. At the start of 2019, Pandya’s career seemed to have gone in to the doldrums after the controversy in the ‘Koffee With Karan’ show. However, he made his comeback in the New Zealand tour and also went on to play in the 2019 World Cup in England and Wales.

In the meantime, Hardik posted an adorable picture of his son on Twitter. In the photo, he can be seen, holding his loved one in his arms. The Baroda cricketer captioned the picture and wrote, “The blessing from God,”

Back on May 31, Natasa also shared a beautiful post on social media, giving the news of her pregnancy. “Hardik and I have shared a memorable journey together so far and now, it’s only going to get better. Together, we are excited to welcome a new life into our lives very soon.

We’re super excited for this new step of our life together and humbly ask your blessings and well wishes,” the actress captioned the picture and wrote.

During an earlier interview, Hardik had said how his family backed him to get together with Stankovic. “My parents also didn’t know that I was getting engaged. Two days before (the engagement), I told Krunal. I told him, ‘I have had enough.

I have found someone in my life who I love, and I am becoming better.’ They (family) backed me and told ‘do whatever you want,” Pandya had said to Harsha Bhogle during the show ‘In conversation with Cricbuzz’.

Hardik is next set to play in the 2020 edition of the Premier League (IPL), representing the Mumbai Indians (MI). The event is set to get underway on September 19 in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
