It was Natasa’s birthday post for Hardik on October 11 was one of the main reasons for the link-up rumours. The Serbian beauty wrote, “To my best friend, the strongest and the most beautiful soul. This year has been a roller coaster ride for you. Many great things happen and some were not that great but definitely have made you stronger. You have been such an inspiration for all of us and I couldn’t be more proud of you for everything you have done for yourself and people around you, for everything you have gone through and still decided to stand tall and get out of it like a winner. Keep shining, smiling and getting stronger. You are on the right track. Stay focused. I’ll always have your back. Happy bday HP. God bless you @hardikpandya93 #happyface.”
Pandya, who is on an injury break due to a back surgery, is expected to be back to competitive cricket later this month with the India 'A' team in New Zealand which will also be his extended fitness test before he is drafted into the senior team.
