New Delhi: Mumbai Indians registered a massive 8-wicket victory over Kolkata Knight Riders on Monday, making a significant jump in the points table from 10th to 6th place. The match saw an incredible debut performance from young pacer Ashwini Kumar, who picked up 4 wickets—the most by an Indian bowler on IPL debut. However, another major talking point was the presence of Hardik Pandya’s rumored girlfriend, Jasmine Walia, who was spotted cheering for MI in the stands and later seen boarding the team bus after the match.
Jasmine Walia Spotted in MI Team Bus
During IPL matches, players’ family members often attend games, with special seating arrangements provided for them. Franchise teams also arrange separate transport for players’ families from hotels to stadiums or airports. However, after Mumbai Indians’ dominant victory over KKR, Jasmine Walia was seen boarding the MI team bus, which is usually reserved for coaching staff or players’ family members.
A viral video shows Jasmine Walia getting into the same bus as Mumbai Indians’ players’ family members. In the clip, Deepak Chahar’s wife, Jaya Bhardwaj, can also be seen entering the bus just before Jasmine. The video has sparked various reactions on social media, fueling speculation about her rumored relationship with Hardik Pandya.
