Personal Life
Hardik Pandya was born on October 11, 1993, in Choryasi, Surat, Gujarat, India. His father, Himanshu Pandya, ran a small car finance business in Surat, which he later shut down and moved to Vadodara when Hardik was five years old. The move was to provide his sons with better cricket training facilities. Himanshu Pandya worked as a loan agent in Vadodara. He enrolled his two sons into Kiran More’s cricket academy in Vadodara. Despite financial constraints, the Pandya family lived in a rented apartment in Gorwa, using a second-hand car to travel to the cricket ground. Hardik studied at MK High School until the ninth grade before dropping out to focus on cricket.
Hardik’s journey to professional cricket began when he joined the Kirby Cricket Academy in Vadodara. His aggressive playing style caught the attention of selectors, and he made his debut for Baroda in domestic cricket.
