Kashvee, who represents Gujarat Giants in the

Women’s Premier League

, had met Pandya during the tournament, where he learned she idolised him and had even inscribed ‘HP33’ on her bat. Touched by her admiration, Pandya promised to give her a custom-made bat — identical in weight to hers (1100 grams).

Who's that IPL player?
He delivered on that promise ahead of Mumbai Indians' IPL clash against Delhi Capitals. "Badhai ho badhai pehla call-up ke liye... play and enjoy. Go well. India ke liye khelo," Pandya was seen saying in the video, handing over the bat.
Kashvee shared the video with the caption: "Champions don’t just play the game — they uplift the next generation. Hardik Pandya, promise made, promise kept. Thank you!"

The timing couldn’t be more perfect. Kashvee has just earned her maiden call-up to the

Indian women's team

ahead of the ODI World Cup. She was a standout performer in WPL 2025, finishing as Gujarat’s leading wicket-taker with 11 scalps in nine matches and contributing vital runs.
