Did Hardik Pandya break BCCI’s 'Family Policy'? Viral video sparks debate

Cricket

On February 13, a video of Hardik Pandya walking hand-in-hand with Mahieka Sharma at the team hotel in Colombo went viral and instantly triggered debate

The BCCI has enforced a strict “No Stay-in Policy” for T20 World Cup 2026. Families are not allowed to stay at the team hotel or enter restricted areas

With a strict no-family stay policy at the team hotel, separate accommodation rules, and a 14-day limit for long tours to maintain discipline and team bonding, the big question remains, did Hardik violate any of these guidelines?

There is no official complaint or confirmed rule violation from the BCCI. Families can travel, but must stay separately. Was this just a lobby appearance or something more?

Hardik also grabbed attention after unveiling a special new tattoo, reportedly a Valentine’s Day surprise for Mahieka Sharma

A day earlier, Hardik smashed 52 off 28 and took 2 wickets in India’s 93-run win over Namibia. As debates rage, he now shifts focus to the high-voltage Pakistan clash on February 15
