Hardik Pandya was seen leaving the city with his girlfriend Mahika Sharma soon after Mumbai Indians’ 30-run defeat to Rajasthan Royals.The star duo caught the attention of fans and photographers at the airport as they arrived side by side.
The couple stepped out in coordinating black tracksuits as they walked together with fingers crossed and made their way through the station.The appearance came just hours after Mumbai Indians concluded their disappointing IPL campaign with a loss to Rajasthan Royals. The five-time champion finished the season with just 8 points from 14 matches, finishing second in the 10-point team table.Speaking after the defeat, Pandya told IANS: “We lost 10-15 too many.
It was chaseable, but we lost a lot of early wickets. The wicket played similarly in both innings. You had to stay fit and bowl good cricket to get value.”The all-rounder also highlighted the last five overs as a major turning point in the match. “(Bowling) the last five overs are always tough. If you can stop one or two boundaries, you can keep teams 12-15 runs short. Conceiving 73 in the last five also cost us,” he said.
While Hardik has remained mum about his personal life, his recent public appearance with Mahika has continued to spark speculation about their relationship status. The couple’s PDA-filled appearances have fueled speculation that the two are getting serious in their relationship. Recent unconfirmed reports also claimed that the couple was preparing to live together. However, the rumors have not been confirmed yet.Hardik is known to go out of town on quiet vacations with his lady love. In March, Hardik and Mahika were seen boarding a speedboat at India Gate in Mumbai. The duo coordinated in matching blue outfits after winning the T20 World Cup.
