Indian cricketer Hardik Pandya shared a touching birthday message for his son Agastya, who turned four on July 30, 2024. In an emotional Instagram post, Hardik referred to Agastya as his "partner in crime" and expressed his love and joy at being a father. The post included a video where the father-son duo played a game of Jenga, showcasing their close bond. Hardik captioned the post, "You keep me going every single day! Happy birthday to my partner in crime, my whole heart, my Agu. Love you beyond words."
