Mumbai: Hardik Pandya has once again grabbed attention — this time not for his on-field exploits, but for a personal revelation that blends luxury with spirituality.

Days after purchasing a high-end Ferrari 12Cilindri reportedly worth ₹12 crore, the Mumbai Indians captain revealed that he listens to the Hanuman Chalisa while driving the supercar.

“It gives me positive energy”

Speaking at a Mumbai Indians event, Pandya shared that despite owning one of the world’s most luxurious cars, his choice of music remains rooted in devotion.

“Now it’s so fascinating that I have a Ferrari and I still listen to the Hanuman Chalisa inside the car. So it’s cool. God has been kind,” he said, drawing loud reactions from the audience.

He further emphasised the impact of the hymn on his mindset:
“I think everyone will agree that no song can give you as much positive energy as the Hanuman Chalisa.”

Viral moment after luxury purchase

Pandya’s comments come shortly after videos of him driving his new Ferrari went viral on social media. The all-rounder was spotted enjoying the ride, adding to the buzz around his latest acquisition.

The revelation struck a chord with fans, highlighting a contrast between modern luxury and traditional faith — a combination that resonated widely online.

Journey from batter to all-round star

At the same event, Pandya reflected on his cricketing journey, revealing that he initially started as a specialist batter before evolving into one of India’s premier all-rounders.

“I was just a pure batter in my early years. I only knew one thing — if someone asked for 12 rounds, I would run 15,” he said, crediting hard work and discipline for his rise.

His dedication paid off quickly, with Pandya progressing rapidly to domestic cricket and eventually representing India at the highest level.

Leading Mumbai Indians in IPL 2026

Pandya is set to captain Mumbai Indians for the third consecutive season in the Indian Premier League 2026.

The five-time champions will begin their campaign against Kolkata Knight Riders on March 29, with expectations high as Pandya looks to guide the team to another successful season.

Conclusion

Hardik Pandya’s revelation offers a glimpse into the personality behind the cricketer — someone who balances fame and fortune with personal beliefs and grounding influences.

As IPL 2026 approaches, the Mumbai Indians skipper will hope that the same “positive energy” translates into performances on the field.
