The bond between Krunal Pandya and Hardik Pandya has always been admired by fans. The brothers often expressed love and respect for each other in public. Their mutual support and pride in achievements made their relationship special.
Krunal had celebrated Hardik’s T20 World Cup win in 2024 with great joy. Similarly, Hardik proudly supported Krunal after his IPL trophy victory in 2025. Their strong connection was visible during these big career milestones.
However, things seem to have changed slightly this year. During the recent MI vs RCB match, Krunal celebrated aggressively after Hardik was caught by Romario at 40. This moment quickly caught the attention of fans online.
Many fans traced this distance back to India’s 2026 T20 World Cup win. During that period, the brothers were not seen together. Krunal also did not post publicly about Hardik’s achievement of winning back-to-back ICC World Cups.
Some people believe this change is linked to Mahieka entering Hardik’s life. They feel his girlfriend may have affected the bond between the two brothers. This speculation has gained traction on social media.
At the same time, others have taken a more practical view. They believe each cricketer has their own personal space. Not everything discussed online needs to be true or accurate.
The aggression shown by Krunal could simply be the heat of the moment. Fans and social media users may be overanalysing the situation. Such reactions are common in high-pressure matches.
Regardless of the rumours, fans are hoping everything is fine between the brothers. Many miss their strong on-field and off-field connection. Their bond has always been something cricket lovers enjoyed watching.
