Last night’s match between Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bengaluru created quite a stir online. Hardik Pandya came face to face with his elder brother Krunal Pandya at the Wankhede Stadium. The two brothers are reportedly not on the best terms these days. Krunal started Hardik’s batting with a bouncer, and Hardik responded with just a cold stare. When Hardik lost his wicket, Krunal celebrated it with a lot of energy. After the game ended, the brothers seemed to skip the usual handshake.

The on-field tension was hard to miss. Krunal came in to bowl while Hardik was batting. He started it with a bouncer aimed at his younger brother. Hardik simply stared back without much reaction. In the past, the Pandya brothers were known for their fun and friendly conversations during matches. They would often smile and joke with each other on the field. But this time things felt different. When Hardik was finally dismissed, Krunal showed excitement and celebrated more than usual. Videos of these moments spread quickly across social media. Fans started connecting the dots and recalled old rumours about a possible rift between them.
For the unversed, after India won the T20 World Cup final against New Zealand by a huge margin, fans flooded social media with happy posts and edits. Most players and their families shared messages of joy and pride. However, people noticed that Krunal Pandya stayed completely silent.
Normally, Krunal would be the first to show support for his brother on every big occasion. This time, there was nothing. Fans also pointed out that Krunal and his wife Pankhuri were not seen at the stadium during the tournament. Their absence added more fuel to the growing speculation.
