Nita Ambani makes shocking claims about Hardik Pandya and his brother

Mumbai Indians owner Nita Ambani revealed the shocking story behind Hardik Pandya and his brother Krunal Pandya.

Nita first met Hardik and Krunal more than a decade ago during a training camp.

Speaking at an event in Boston, she said,  "In the IPL, we all have a fixed budget, so we have to think of new ways to scout talent. At that time, we were looking for fresh talent. I used to attend every Ranji Trophy match. One day, our scouts brought two skinny young boys to our camp."

Recalling her conversation with the Pandya brothers, she continued,  "When I spoke to Hardik and Krunal, they told me that for three years, they had eaten nothing but Maggi noodles because they had no money. But I saw the passion and hunger in them to achieve something big."

"Those two brothers were none other than Hardik Pandya and Krunal Pandya. In 2015, I bought Hardik Pandya for $10,000, and today, he is the proud captain of Mumbai Indians," she added.

Hardik started his career in 2015 with Mumbai Indians, followed by his selection for the Indian cricket team. Over time, he became one of India's top cricketers and remains an integral part of the national team today.
