Father of Team India all-rounder duo Hardik Pandya and Krunal Pandya has passed away in Baroda due to a cardiac arrest. Himanshu Pandya, father of Hardik and Krunal was instrumental in making them a cricketer and sacrificed all his life to provide his sons with cricketing gears.
Himanshu Pandya left his business in Surat to move to Vadodara to provide his sons with better cricketing facilities. They had to face a lot of hardships during that period and the father of Pandya’s brothers never discourage his son to leave cricket and instead pushed them to concentrate more on the game.
