Indian cricketer Hardik Pandya and his girlfriend, Mahieka Sharma may be denying engagement buzz, but her dazzling diamond ring was back to being the centre of attention after the T20 World Cup finals. Mahieka was seen playing the doting girlfriend as she joined Hardik to celebrate on the field. The beauty was seen proudly flaunting a sparkling diamond ring, which has long been the centre of debate. Photos circulating on social media show Pandya wrapped in the Indian tricolour as he stands beside Sharma, who held his hand while smiling at the crowd.

In another moment captured by photographers, the couple shared an emotional embrace on the field, with Sharma kissing the cricketer on the cheek. While the couple had no qualms packing on the PDA in front of the cameras, Sharma’s diamond ring caught enough attention for fans to speculate that the engagement buzz may just be true after all.

Sharma has previously denied an engagement when the ring became a talking point among fans and social media users. Many suspected that the beauty was engaged to the cricketer after photos and videos from their special pooja ceremony went viral online. In the clips the couple was seen wearing matching traditional attire while offering a pooja ceremony, surrounded by 3-4 priests. Her presence at the game, seated in the VIP box and the ring on her hand, adds fuel to rumours that the couple may have taken their relationship to the next level.

Pandya, on winning the Cup, shared with reporters that he hopes to win 10 more ICC titles over the next decade. Speaking after the title win, the Indian all-rounder said, “I have 10 more years left in me, and I want to win 10 more ICC titles. That’s my goal. [on winning at home and defending the title] It’s quite emotional. Because of winning the WC in India, the excitement of the people is amazing. The effort we have put in… From yesterday, I knew we are champions. The only self-belief I had was that there was no other result. Losing wasn’t a thought.”
