Not only did the videos and photos of the couple celebrating together quickly go viral on social media, with fans praising their chemistry and the joyful moments they shared after the historic win, but Indian cricketer Hardik Pandya giving credit to his girlfriend for the positive phase in his life is also making headlines.
Pandya expressed that “everything has been going right” and acknowledged Mahieka’s presence as a source of support and happiness.
In a post-match interview, Hardik Pandya said, “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. 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.”
The all-rounder celebrated the historic win with his teammates and shared a special moment with Mahieka.
Social media has many reactions to Mahieka’s media coverage. An X user wrote, “If Hardik Pandya hits a six — camera shows his girlfriend. If Hardik takes a wicket — camera shows his girlfriend. If Hardik drops a catch — camera shows his girlfriend. If Hardik misfields — camera shows his girlfriend. If Hardik just smiles — camera shows his girlfriend. Alright cameraman… we get it. Now please focus on the match.”
India’s dominant performance was powered by key contributions from players like Sanju Samson, Ishan Kishan, Jasprit Bumrah, and Abhishek Sharma, helping the team secure the T20 World Cup title on home soil.
