Controversial Divorces Of Indian Cricketers Before Hardik Pandya’s Separation Rumours

Indian Cricketer Divorce:  The rumored divorce of Indian cricketer Hardik Pandya and his Serbian actor and model wife Natasa Stankovic became a reality on Wednesday when the couple announced their separation. The speculations that Natasa will be swiping away 70 percent of his property post-divorce have put her in an encasement of harsh trolling while Pandya is not spared either.

In mid-may 2024 Natasa removed Pandya’s surname from her Instagram account which kindled this flame that was later fueled by her deleting recent pictures of each other as a couple except the ones with their son.

Let's take a look at the Indian cricketers who had some of the most controversial divorces in the limelight.  

Shikhar Dhawan 

The ever-smiling face on the field, Shikhar Dhawan is known as a happy-go-lucky person. Even when his flying ball becomes a catch than a boundary his contagious smile is there. The cricketer however had an ugly divorce when he went to court when his ex-wife Aesha Mukherjee refrained him from meeting his son by staying back in Australia. The court granted him a divorce on grounds of “mental cruelty” inflicted by his wife on him.
