Newzdaddy Sports updates
Hardik Pandya, the Indian cricket sensation, had a tough childhood. He and his elder brother, Krunal, faced many difficulties because their family didn’t have much money. They had to rely on Maggi noodles for their meals, both in the morning and evening.
Hardik comes from Choryasi, Gujarat, and made his debut for the Indian cricket team in 2016 against New Zealand. However, his fame really began when he played a fantastic inning for the Mumbai Indians against the Chennai Super Kings in 2015.
But life was hard for Hardik during his teenage years. His family struggled financially, and Maggi noodles were often their main food because they didn’t have much else.

Hardik talked about his difficulties in an interview and how Maggi played a big role in their tough journey. He said, “I really liked eating noodles (Maggi). Used to eat a lot of it when I was a kid. Back then if I had the option of eating good food, obviously I would choose to eat good food. But you need to have money to afford good food.”
His family had financial troubles because his father had two heart attacks in one night, and they had to spend a lot on medical bills. Hardik and Krunal spent a lot of time practicing cricket and struggled with money issues.
Despite these challenges, Hardik Pandya became a famous cricketer. He achieved many high points in his career, including his incredible 76-run innings against Pakistan in the 2017 Champions Trophy final, his all-round performance against England in 2018, and his match-winning 83 runs against Australia in 2017.
