The Indian cricket fraternity dealt with disheartening news on Saturday as the father of Indian cricketers Hardik and Krunal Pandya passed away. While Hardik isn't occupied in any sort of cricketing activity at present, Krunal was with the Baroda team for the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.


It has been reported by ANI that 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 ANI.


Pandya brothers' father passed away after cardiac arrest, and could not be revived even after rushing to the hospital. 


Krunal Pandya has played three matches so far in the ongoing Syed Mushtaq Ali tournament, managing to take four wickets.


In the first match against Uttarakhand, Krunal also managed to score 76 runs for Baroda. Baroda has so far won all its three matches in the ongoing Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. The side is at the top of Elite Group C. Hardik Pandya is not playing the ongoing Syed Mushtaq Ali trophy but he began his training for the upcoming white-ball series against England, which is scheduled to begin in February.
