India all-rounders Hardik Pandya and Krunal Pandya were recently spotted together at Mumbai Airport and the video went viral on social media platforms. Many used shared old airport footage and falsely presented it as a recent sighting of the Pandya brothers, confusing fans online.
Hardik and Krunal are among India’s most popular cricketing siblings. They have represented India together and shared the dressing room during several successful seasons with Mumbai Indians. Their close bond has made them one of the most recognized brother pairs in world cricket.
Old Airport Video of Hardik and Krunal Pandya Resurfaces Online
A reverse image search confirms that paparazzi accounts uploaded this airport video several months ago. Social media users later reshared the old clip without context. Neither Hardik Pandya nor Krunal Pandya has shared any recent update about travelling together.
The video does show Hardik and Krunal Pandya at the airport, but it is not recent. No credible news outlet or verified journalist has reported a fresh public appearance by the brothers. The viral clip is simply an old video shared out of context to attract attention online.
It looks like everything has been sorted out between the Pandya brothers, as they’re finally seen together again.
During the IPL, we all noticed they wouldn’t even look at each other. It’s good to see things seem to be back to normal now 😅 pic.twitter.com/xILZ3FqGWW

Hardik and Krunal Pandya’s On-Field Moments Sparked Speculation
Rumours of a possible rift between Hardik Pandya and Krunal Pandya surfaced during IPL 2026. Fans noticed that the brothers appeared less expressive than usual when the Mumbai Indians (MI) faced the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at the Wankhede Stadium.
During the match, Hardik and Krunal kept their distance instead of sharing their usual warm greeting. Krunal also surprised Hardik with a sharp bouncer, which quickly caught fans’ attention.
Jacob Duffy and Romario Shepherd dismissed Hardik Pandya later in the innings. Krunal celebrated the wicket with great enthusiasm, which further fueled speculation about their relationship on social media.
Despite the speculation, both brothers have enjoyed outstanding IPL careers. Hardik Pandya and Krunal Pandya have each won five IPL titles, making them two of the most successful all-rounders in the tournament’s history.
Hardik Pandya Continues Recovery Ahead of 2027 World Cup
Krunal Pandya recently won his fifth IPL title after the Royal Challengers Bengaluru defended their championship in IPL 2026. He has won two titles with RCB and three with Mumbai Indians. Hardik Pandya has won four IPL titles with Mumbai Indians and one with Gujarat Titans.
Hardik recently moved to Bengaluru to train at the BCCI Centre of Excellence. As a centrally contracted player, he has access to advanced rehabilitation and training facilities as he works toward full fitness.
Hardik last played competitive cricket during IPL 2026. He cleared the required fitness tests ahead of India’s ODI series against Afghanistan, but a fresh injury ruled him out before the opening match.
After another setback, Hardik has recovered and is following a specialized conditioning program for the 2027 ODI World Cup. He scored 206 runs and took four wickets in 10 matches in IPL 2026. Hardik has also been in the headlines over reports linking him with a team change ahead of the IPL 2027 season.
