Throwback Video! When Hardik Pandya Celebrated His Birthday By Cutting Cake With Gautam Gambhir Before 2023 World Cup Match vs Afghanistan

A video from the 2023 World Cup has resurfaced on account of Team India all-rounder Hardik Pandya's birthday. With the Baroda-born cricketer turning 32, the video before the 2023 World Cup match against Afghanistan in Delhi has resurfaced when Pandya cut a cake with Gautam Gambhir and anchor Jatin Sapru.

The seam-bowling all-rounder has played a vital role in India's rise as a white-ball powerhouse in recent times. India's unbeaten campaign in 2024 T20 World Cup and Champions Trophy 2025 both saw Pandya playing vital roles as the Men in Blue clinched back-to-back ICC trophies. His role was particularly critical during the T20 World Cup 2024 final against South Africa, holding his nerve in the final over to defend 16.
