Only a few hours before confirming his engagement, a few hours into the new decade, Pandya posted a photo with Natasha captioned, “starting the year with my firework.”
After announcing a new phase of his life in the new decade, Pandya received warm compliments from the fans on Instagram. Indian leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal was also seen commenting on the Pandya’s post.
Pandya is yet to feature in an ODI match for India since their exit in the 2019 cricket World Cup back in July. His back injury has kept him out of cricket, and he is know to be nearing his return.
