India all-rounder Hardik Pandya on Sunday penned an emotional letter for his late father, who passed away on Saturday.
Himanshu Pandya, father of Indian cricketers Hardik and Krunal, died after suffering a cardiac arrest. He was 71.
In a lengthy Instagram post, Hardik wrote: "To my daddy and my hero, to lose you is one of the most difficult things to accept in life but you have left us so many great memories that we can only imagine you smiling!
"Your sons are standing where they are right now is only because of you, your hard work, your self-belief and you were always happy. This house without you would be less entertaining!
