Bromance erupts as Ishan Kishan heartily hugs Hardik Pandya as the latter returns home after T20 World Cup win

As Hardik Pandya returned home after the mega celebration in the streets of Mumbai and Wankhede Stadium, he received a warm welcome from his family members. Pandya shared a warm moment with his son Agastya, and he presented his Champions medal to him. But the affection did not stop there, as the star all-rounder received a hearty welcome from India wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan.

Kishan, who lost his central contract with the BCCI, has been associated with Pandya lately, as he used to train with him when they were not playing competitive cricket. In a video shared on the social media platform Instagram, Kishan could be seen entering Hardik's house with the all-rounder seated on the couch and watching one of the moments from the Wankhede Stadium on his phone. Ishan raced towards Hardik and gave him a hearty hug as he nearly fell upon him on the couch. The Indian stumper also kissed him on the cheeks as he welcomed Pandya back home. The video has been making rounds over social media, and the fans are melting over their bromance.

“You faced so many things these past few months yet you stayed calm and focused. And today bhaiya you got the result of your hard-work, honesty and sincerity. There’s so much more i feel and want to say but words will fall short. You are a champion and you are rare,” Kishan captioned the post.
