Outstanding performances from Sanju Samson, Ishan Kishan, Jasprit Bumrah, and Abhishek Sharma ensured the Indian cricket team clinched the trophy. The Blue Squad's Hardik Pandya celebrated this first-ever home victory with a sweet kiss from his girlfriend, Mahieka Sharma. Actress-model and girlfriend of Hardik Pandya, Mahieka Sharma, attended the India vs. New Zealand T20 World Cup final in Ahmedabad. And after winning the trophy, the couple shared a cute moment on the ground. Viral pictures and videos showcased Mahieka planting a sweet kiss on the all-rounder's cheek. After the euphoric win, Pandya discussed the match and his desire to keep playing for the blue squad for ten more years. However, what caught everyone's attention was the special mention he gave to his girlfriend, Mahieka Sharma. BollywoodShaadis quoted Hardik Pandya during the post-match interview, "I had been saying the same thing from the beginning—that we are going to win. I already knew that we were champions and that we would come back with this trophy. I even told Mahieka the same thing, 'Don’t worry, we’ve got this.' I want to play for the team for another ten years and win ten more titles. And I honestly want to say one thing: ever since Mahieka came into my life, everything has been going right. There has been win after win."For the occasion, Mahieka Sharma chose the color of the season: blue. The actress-model wore a full-length bodycon dress to attend the India vs New Zealand match at the Narendra Modi stadium in Ahmedabad to cheer on the team and her man, Hardik Pandya. The duo walked hand in hand after she stepped onto the ground to be by her partner’s side. Notably, Sharma attended the match with Hardik and Natasa Stankovic's son, Agastya.
