Not GF, Aditi Hundia, Ishan Kishan Dedicates T20 WC Win To A Special Person After Ind Vs NZ Final

Ishan Kishan played a pivotal role in India's 2026 T20 World Cup victory over New Zealand in the final at Ahmedabad on March 8, 2026. He smashed 54 runs off just 25 balls at a strike rate of 216, including four boundaries and four sixes. Ishan's half-century and Sanju Samson's stellar 89 demoralised the Kiwi attack and helped India register a record-breaking total of 255/5 at the Narendra Modi Stadium. Besides scoring with the bat, Ishan also contributed in the second innings by taking two spectacular catches in the outfield, helping the men in blue secure a comfortable victory. Following that, Ishan dedicated the trophy to a special person who is no longer around.

Ishan Kishan gave his all to the Ind vs NZ match due to a special person

Ishan Kishan dedicated India's T20 World Cup 2026 final victory over New Zealand to his cousin sister, who passed away in a car accident just two days before the match. Following India's 96-run win at Ahmedabad, the 27-year-old cricketer shared that the win was particularly meaningful as it coincided with International Women's Day. Despite the personal tragedy, he played a vital role in the final, scoring 54 runs and taking game-changer catches. During a post-match interview, Ishan said that he shared the tragic incident with his teammate and friend, Hardik Pandya.

It was Hardik who advised Ishan to "put the team ahead" of his personal endeavours and feelings. Agreeing with him, Ishan Kishan chose to stay with the team and delivered a high-impact performance with both bat and ball. Dedicating the victory of the men in blue to his late cousin sister, Ishan stated:

"To be honest, before the game, I lost my cousin sister yesterday in a car accident. I played well for her. I spoke to Hardik bhai, he said to put the team ahead. I dedicate this win to her, and today is Women's Day, so it makes it all the more special."

Ishan Kishan's girlfriend, Aditi Hundia, supported him during the tough time

Ishan Kishan's girlfriend, Aditi Hundia, was spotted at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday, March 8, 2026, to support her beloved during the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 Final against New Zealand. Her presence in the stands on a day when Ishan wasn't in his best spirits due to the loss of a family member, might have boosted his confidence. Aditi was seen cheering from the stands, wearing a casual red tank top and denim. Her presence and the couple's subsequent on-field celebrations have effectively confirmed their long-rumoured relationship to the public.

Photos and videos of Ishan and Aditi sharing adorable moments after the win quickly went viral on social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook. While the couple's relationship has been the subject of rumours since 2019, it gained official status in February 2026 when Ishan's grandfather, Anurag Pandey, publicly confirmed it, stating that the family supports Ishan's choice of partner.
