The IPL 2026 has begun with a bang. Family members of cricketers came to cheer for their partners at Wankhede on Sunday. The second match saw KKR take on MI, and Mumbai Indians won the opening match after 13 long years.


Well, as we all know, Hardik Pandya is truly and deeply in love with his model Mahieka Sharma. Hardik, being the captain of team MI, was joined by his girlfriend and his son, Agastya, to watch the match.


Of late, we have been witnessing a very cute and loving bond between Hardik's son and Mahieka. The duo are often seen bonding, and even during the World Cup, Mahieka was accompanied by little Agastya.


Hardik's girlfriend wore an MI jersey with short denim pants, while Agastya wore the jersey too. Mahieka was seen holding his hand as they made their exit from Wankhede. Several videos and pictures from the stands and after their exit went viral.


In one viral moment, Mahieka yelled at the paparazzi and told them to move away, as they were constantly filming the child and she was trying to shield him from the flashlights. Mahieka wasn't happy seeing the paparazzi hovering around the kid. She held him close and put her hand over Agastya's eyes to protect him from the flashes.


In the clip, she said, "Thoda side please, Agastya ke saath hoon."



She then asked Agastya, "You okay?" Looking at the paparazzi, she added, "No lights please, sir, disturb ho raha hai usko."
