While Team India continue their dominant run in the ICC T20 World Cup 2026, opening sensation Ishan Kishan is making waves for more than just his explosive batting. For years, rumours have swirled around the mystery girl often spotted cheering for the wicketkeeper-batter. Today, those whispers have been officially laid to rest by the most trusted source possible—his family.

Ishan Kishan’s grandfather confirms star opener’s relationship with renowned model Aditi Hundia

In a heartwarming revelation that has taken social media by storm, Ishan Kishan’s grandfather, Anurag Pandey, has officially confirmed the cricketer’s relationship with renowned Jaipur-based model Aditi Hundia. Speaking to the news agency ANI in Aurangabad, Bihar, Pandey expressed the family’s complete support for the couple, emphasizing that the happiness of the children is their top priority.

“Whoever Ishan chooses to marry, I fully accept his decision,” Pandey told ANI during a candid interaction.

He further clarified the family’s stance, stating, “We are ready to accept whoever Ishan Kishan wants to marry. Aditi is his girlfriend. She is a model. One should accept what makes children happy.”

Hundia is no stranger to the limelight. A prominent face in the Indian fashion industry, she was a finalist at Femina Miss India 2017 and crowned Miss Diva Supranational 2018. The pair has reportedly been dating for over six years, with Aditi being a constant pillar of support through Kishan’s professional highs and lows. This confirmation from the patriarch of the family suggests that wedding bells might be on the horizon once the high-stakes cricket season concludes.

Kishan’s outstanding run for India in T20 World Cup 2026

While his personal life is trending, Ishan Kishan’s professional form has reached a career-defining peak. After a period of being on the sidelines, the “Patna Powerhouse” has returned to the national side as a transformed athlete, dubbed “Ishan 2.0” by fans and commentators alike.

In the ongoing T20 World Cup 2026, Kishan has emerged as India’s X-factor at the top of the order. His most significant contribution came in the high-voltage clash against Pakistan at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. On a tricky surface where other batters struggled, Kishan played a scintillating knock of 77 runs off just 40 balls, striking at a massive rate of 192. His ability to dismantle both pace and spin during the Powerplay has provided India with the aggressive starts they lacked in previous editions.

Statistically, Kishan’s comeback has been nothing short of phenomenal. Since returning to the T20I setup earlier this year against New Zealand, where he smashed a brilliant 103, he has maintained a staggering average of over 50. His improved technique on the off-side and fearless approach have solidified his spot as the preferred opener alongside Abhishek Sharma. As India enters the Super 8 stage, all eyes remain on Kishan to see if he can carry this love-fueled momentum all the way to the trophy.
