After a challenging and competitive 1-2 loss in the just-concluded One-Day Internationals (ODI), India are all set to face off against Australia in the shortest format, Twenty20 Internationals (T20I), starting Friday. Although India underperformed, it was all-rounder Hardik Pandya, who was the shining star.

Pandya took to his Instagram handle to share a picture of him, along with Virat Kohli, KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal. The two are sitting in a cafe, having coffee, while Agarwal is seen along with his female partner too, as Pandya captioned it, "Out and about beautiful sunny Canberra 🌞".

Pandya is also famous for his personal life, having got married to Bollywood actress, Natasa Stankovic, earlier this year. The couple has a son, Agastya, who was born in July, as Natasa keeps Pandya and fans engaged by sharing pictures of her new-born, while Pandya has been on cricket duty since the past three months, away from his family.

India would be looking to turn things around in the T20Is, as they are already coming off a dominant 5-0 win in New Zealand. Also, the recent exposure to the Indian Premier League (IPL) is likely to come in handy for the Indians. This would be the first-ever T20I clash between the sides in the city.
