The 32-year-old played an integral role with both bat and ball in the hand throughout the tournament as India went on to win a record third T20 World Cup. During the celebrations at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, Pandya was accompanied by his girlfriend, Mahieka Sharma.

Hardik while talking about his girlfriend, Mahieka Sharma, said, “Jab se Mahieka aayi hai, life mein bas jeet hi jeet hai.” (From the time Mahieka has come into my life, I have been only winning.)
Pandya talked about the confidence he felt before the tournament even began. “I had been saying the same thing from the beginning—that we are going to win. I already knew that we were champions and that we would come back with this trophy,” the all-rounder said.
The 32-year-old further added how he had reassured his girlfriend, Mahieka about the win. He said, “I even told Mahieka the same thing, ‘Don’t worry, we’ve got this.’ I want to play for the team for another ten years and win ten more titles. And I honestly want to say one thing: ever since Mahieka came into my life, everything has been going right. There has been win after win.”
