Hardik Pandya and Krunal Pandya’s childhood coach, Jitendra Singh, has revealed the help he received from the two all-rounders.
In his interview with TOI, Jitendra Singh spoke about how the Pandya brothers supported him and are still helping him.
“Krunal and Hardik helped me during my first sister’s wedding. They transferred INR 20 lakh for purchasing a car along with other gifts during my second sister’s wedding in 2024,” he said.
He also mentioned that Hardik told him not to worry, as his childhood coach’s sister was his sister as well. Hardik told him to inform him about the wedding date.
“Your sister is my sister, and inform me when the wedding date is fixed. He ensured all the things went well and took care of all the requirements,” he added.
The coach also narrated about the instance when his mother fell ill. Hardik was making his debut for the Mumbai Indians (MI), but still gave all his money for the treatment of his coach’s mother. Hardik also gifted him a car when India toured Australia in 2015-16.
Krunal Pandya offered him INR 18 lakh to buy a new car when he won the IPL title with RCB in 2025. The total assistance he has received from the Pandya brothers is around INR 70-80 lakh so far.
