Hardik's Childhood
From childhood Hardik was a boy who was having less interest in studies and more interest in games. He got failed when he was in 9th standard and after that he stopped studying and left school. And from then he started working on cricket. Himanshu Pandya who was the father of Hardik Pandya believed in him and decided to leave his business and shift to Vadodara where Hardik could get better training for cricket.
After shifting from Vadodara to Surat, Hardik's family's financial condition was very bad. They were not having enough money to eat good food and as a result Hardik's father got ill. This was the most difficult situation of Hardik's life. Both brothers Hardik and Krunal go to different areas and play cricket to get some money.
Hardik's Academic Sessions
Hardik's father took him to Kiran Mor's cricket academy where they can get good cricket training but they denied as they only selected children above the age of 12 years. But when his father said to check the playing ability of Hardik and Krunal, Kiran Mor was shocked. Kiran Mor was so influenced by Hardik and Krunal that he decided to teach them cricket without any fees for 3 years.
Problems
You will be shocked after knowing that due to the black colour and looks of Pandya brothers they were called as Vadodara's Windies player. Hardik could not say anything as at last they had to borrow the cricket kit from them only as he was not having his own.
Sometimes the both brothers practised full day. They got 5-5 rupees from their father from which they buy noodles.
Teams
Hardik Pandya plays for Team India in international matches and Mumbai Indians in Indian Premier League. He also played for India A, India AT20, Baroda, World XI and Indian Board Presidents XI.
