Krunal has left the bio-bubble that he was in with the rest of the players of the Baroda team. "Yes, Krunal Pandya has left the bubble. It is a personal tragedy, Baroda Cricket Association mourns this loss of Hardik and Krunal," Baroda Cricket Association CEO Shishir Hattangadi told a news agency.

Recently Himanshu had talked about his sons' achievements and said, "Whenever I speak about Hardik and Krunal, I cannot control my tears and that they have done so well is God's gift. Our intentions of letting them play cricket from a very young age was questioned and criticized by many relatives. But we were not willing to change our plans, and it is great to see what they have achieved now," Himanshu Pandya had told MI TV in an interview."

Rest in peace, Himanshu Pandya!
