On January 4, 2026, ahead of India’s first international series of the year, the star all-rounder Hardik Pandya and his girlfriend, model Mahieka Sharmawere seen at Jamnagar Airport alongside the veteran slugger Rohit Sharma. The group, which included Rohit’s wife Ritika Sajdeh and their young son Ahaanappeared to be in good spirits as they moved from domestic duties to international engagements.
Mahieka Sharma meets Rohit Sharma’s son Ahaan at Jamnagar airport
Mahieka, who made her relationship with Hardik official in October 2025, was seen sharing a particularly warm and adorable moment with little Ahaan, carried by Ritika. The viral images have melted hearts on social media, demonstrating the close family bond between the families of the two cricket icons as they prepare for a demanding home season.
The viral video gave a rare and candid insight into the off-field camaraderie between India’s top cricketers and their families. As they left the Jamnagar airport, Mahieka was seen all smiles, playing and interacting with Ahaan Sharma in an adorable manner” while Ritika looked on. Hardik and Mahieka have been the subject of intense media interest since going public with their relationship; however, this latest outing suggests that Mahieka is now an integral part of the team’s inner family circle. The group reportedly gathered in Jamnagar, a town often used by the Ambani family for high-profile gatherings, perhaps for a brief bonding session before the team meets in Vadodara on January 7.

Rohit’s red-hot form and Hardik’s workload management
While the families shared a moment of levity, the professional contrast between the two stars for the next New Zealand ODI series is significant. Rohit Sharma enters the series in peak physical and competitive condition, while Hardik Pandya will watch the 50-over stage from the sidelines.
- Rohit Sharma’s dominance: Rohit has been in blistering form, recording dozens of 73, 121, 57, 14 and 75* in his last five ODIs. He recently validated his readiness by smashing 155 off 94 balls for Mumbai in the Vijay Hazare Trophy.
- Hardik’s T20 focus: Despite scoring a brilliant 133 for Baroda recently, Hardik was rested for the ODIs. The BCCI has said that he is currently not fit to play a full quota of 10 overs in the 50 over format. With the T20 World Cup 2026 Scheduled in February, the selectors are prioritizing his fitness for the T20I stage, which begins on January 21.
