This is not the first time that Hardik Pandya has surprised his father
India all-rounder Hardik Pandya came for some criticism for his below-par performance in the recently-concluded Test series in England that India lost 1-4. Apart from a five-wicket haul and a half-century in the Trent Bridge Test, Hardik failed to make much of a contribution with either the bat or the ball in the five-match Test series. However, Hardik took to Instagram and shared a video of paying a surprise visit to his father that struck a chord with his fans. In the video, captioned as "when you surprise daddy, #seeinghimafter3month", Hardik can be seen waking up his father and greeting him with a warm hug. The expression on his father's face tells how happy he was to see his son.
This is not the first time that Hardik has surprised his father. In August last year, Hardik had gifted a Jeep Compass SUV to his father as he announced the news with a series of tweets.
An ecstatic and emotional father, took the phone said "I love you" to Hardik over the video call.
