Hardik Pandya's IPL season may have been disappointing on the field, but his heartwarming gesture towards a young fan has won hearts off it. In a video that has gone viral on social media, Pandya is seen tossing his cap towards a child in the stands as he makes his way to the dressing room. The child, clad in a Kolkata Knight Riders jersey, catches the cap and expresses his gratitude to the Mumbai Indians skipper.
The exact match and stadium where the incident occurred are unknown, but it is believed to have taken place during MI's final match against KKR at the Eden Gardens on May 11. The video clip shows the young fan exclaiming, "Hardik Pandya gave me this cap," as he proudly displays the memento.
Pandya's act of kindness has resonated with fans, who have praised him for his humility and generosity. Despite enduring a forgettable season with MI, both as a player and captain, Pandya has shown that his spirit remains unyielding.
MI, who have already been eliminated from playoff contention, will conclude their IPL campaign with a home match against the Lucknow Super Giants at the Wankhede Stadium on Friday. Lucknow's playoff hopes are also hanging by a thread, with their qualification chances resting on a mathematical possibility.
