[WATCH]- Hardik Pandya Meets Fans After Christmas Dinner With Mahieka Sharma

Star all-rounder Hardik Pandya was seen taking selfies with fans after stepping out for a Christmas dinner with his girlfriend, Mahieka Sharma. He recently featured in India’s home T20I series against South Africa. Hardik and Mahieka were spotted exiting a restaurant on Christmas Eve, with fans gathered outside to catch a glimpse of the cricketer.

Hardik first made sure Mahieka was safely seated inside the car before shutting the door. He then paused briefly to oblige fans by posing for selfies. Even as he moved towards the vehicle, fans continued to request pictures, following him until he finally got into the car.

He was spotted in a casual blue shirt paired with black trousers and a watch, while Mahieka appeared in a black dress, carrying a handbag. You can watch the video here:

Hardik Pandya was in fine batting form during the T20I series against South Africa. He amassed 142 runs from three innings at an impressive average of 71 and a strike rate of 186.84, including two fifties. He also chipped in with three wickets with the ball.

Hardik Pandya Named In Baroda Squad For Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025–26

India are set to host New Zealand for a three-match ODI series followed by five T20Is in January 2026, ahead of the T20 World Cup scheduled for February. Until the New Zealand series begins, the players have been given a break. Meanwhile, several Indian cricketers are taking part in the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy (VHT) 2025–26, which got underway on Wednesday, December 24.

Hardik Pandya has been included in Baroda’s squad for the tournament. Although Baroda registered a win over Assam in their opening match, Hardik was not part of the playing XI, and it is yet to be confirmed when he will link up with the side. The all-rounder has also been selected in India’s squad for the T20I series against New Zealand and the 2026 T20 World Cup.

As a result, featuring in the VHT could help Hardik stay match-ready and maintain form ahead of key international commitments. He was instrumental in India’s triumph at the 2024 T20 World Cup and is expected to play a pivotal role as the Men in Blue look to defend their title.
