Ishan Kishan is undoubtedly the man of the moment. Just days after silencing his critics with a blistering Man of the Match performance against arch-rivals Pakistan in the ongoing T20 World Cup, the left-handed dynamo is making headlines again, but this time, it’s not for his explosive batting. While the nation is still celebrating his match-winning 77 off 41 balls that crushed Pakistan in Colombo, his family back in Bihar has given fans another reason to cheer.

In a heartwarming turn of events, Ishan Kishan’s grandfather, Anurag Pandey, has effectively put an end to years of speculation regarding the cricketer’s personal life. Speaking to the media from their ancestral home in Aurangabad, the proud grandfather confirmed what the rumour mills have whispered for years: Ishan Kishan is dating Jaipur-based supermodel and former Miss Diva, Aditi Hundia.

"Whoever Ishan chooses to marry, I fully accept; his decision is mine," Anurag Pandey stated candidly, giving the relationship the ultimate seal of approval. He added with a smile, "Aditi is his girlfriend. One should accept what makes children happy."

The revelation adds a sweet layer to Ishan Kishan’s current golden run. Aditi, a familiar face in the stands during the IPL, has often been spotted cheering for the southpaw, but this is the first time the family has publicly acknowledged the bond. Pandey even revealed that Aditi shares a warm equation with the family, having previously praised his "youthful energy" in interviews.

With India dominating on the field and Ishan winning hearts off it, it seems wedding bells might just be the next big score on the cards!
