Hardik Pandya went viral after introducing girlfriend Mahieka Sharma to Amitabh Bachchan at a Mumbai event celebrating India’s cricket success. The warm interaction drew praise from fans, highlighting Hardik’s personal life and the blend of cricket, cinema and celebrity culture

Pandya hit an overall eight sixes and 11 fours to fire Baroda to 293 for nine from a shaky 71 for five at one stage. However, Vidarbha hardly broke a sweat in the run chase with Aman Mokhade smashing a 121-ball 150 not out and Dhruv Shorey standing firm on 65 off 76 balls
