Hardik Pandya, captain of the Mumbai Indians, fulfilled his promise to Kashvee Gautam, a rising star in the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2025. Kashvee had asked Pandya for his bat during a match, and he pledged to shred one of his bats to 1100 grams, the size of Kashvee’s original bat, and gift it to her. Gujarat Giants star Harleen Deol introduced Kashvee to Pandya, who then met with her in Delhi ahead of a game against the Delhi Capitals. Pandya presented Kashvee with the customized bat, congratulating her on her maiden call-up to the Indian women’s team for the upcoming World Cup. He encouraged her to play well and represent India, signing the bat before handing it over. Kashvee shared the moment on Instagram, thanking Pandya for keeping his promise. This gesture exemplifies how champions uplift the next generation, inspiring young talents like Kashvee to pursue their dreams in cricket.
