Hardik Pandya and Natasa Stankovic announced their engagement on new year's day of 2020, when Pandya proposed to Natasa on a yacht in Dubai. The couple was surrounded by friends and family.
Under normal circumstances, the players would currently be taking part in the 13th edition of the Indian Premier League. However, the coronavirus pandemic has brought the cricket world to a standstill and the league remains suspended indefinitely.
It has been reported that the IPL could take place later this year if the T20 World Cup (scheduled for October-November) is postponed to next year. Earlier this week, Cricket Australia chairman Earl Eddings reportedly wrote a letter to the ICC, calling for the tournament to be shifted amid the pandemic.
