Pandya, who bowled the crucial last over in finals against South Africa and successfully defended 16 runs, took to Instagram to reveal the news. He said the decision to part ways was tough for the couple. “This was a tough decision for us to make, given the joy, mutual respect and companionship we enjoyed together and as we grew a family.”
The couple tied the knot in 2020 and has a son, Agastya, who they will co-parent.
“We are blessed with Agastya, who will continue to be at the centre of both our lives and we will co-parent to ensure that we give him everything that we can for his happiness. We sincerely request your support and understanding to give us the privacy during this difficult and sensitive time. Hardik/Natasa,” Pandya said.
