Cricketers lead a life that leaves them with very little time to spend with their own families. Consequently, when the player comes back home after a gruelling schedule of play lasting for weeks, imagine the elation on both sides of the equation! Recently, Indian all-rounder, Hardik Pandya had a beautiful moment of reunion with his father that he chose to share with his fans.

For the last three month or so, the Indian team was in England a long tour, with all three formats of the game putting them to test. The Test series, in particular, drew a lot of flak from Indian fans and critics as the visitors lost by a significant margin of 1-4 at the hands of the Joe Root-led side. The next tournament for the team is the ongoing Asia Cup 2018.

Hardik surprises his father on coming back from England

Recently, when Hardik flew back to India after the England tour, he captured a beautiful moment of rendezvous with his father, who wasn’t aware of his son returning after three months. In a video posted by the stylish cricketer on his Instagram handle, it can be seen that Pandya entered the room quietly while his father was sleeping. On waking him up, the smile on the face of his father was a priceless one as the father-son pair hugged each other.

On the professional front, the all-rounder performed below par than what was expected of him. Combining all three formats, Hardik played 11 games where he scored 302 runs and picked 17 wickets. The Test series, in particular, was a dampener of sorts as he had no major contribution barring the five-wicket haul at Trent Bridge. Subsequently, he was dropped from the Test side in the fifth and final Test against England.

The flamboyant all-rounder’s next assignment is the upcoming Asia Cup that kicked off in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) today (September 15). He’ll be flying to the country ahead of India’s encounter with Hong Kong on Tuesday and it’ll be interesting to see how Hardik tackles the responsibilities. The Indian team is bound to find his batting services indispensable in the absence of their regular ODI skipper, Virat Kohli.
