Mumbai Indians all-rounder Hardik Pandya is virtually a deviation in every practical sense from the standards of society. However, his latest revelation at an event in Mumbai has left the netizens astonished. Who would’ve thought a funky cricketer who wears watches worth crores, drives luxurious sports cars like Ferrari and Lamborghini, and has tattoos all over his body, would get his confidence and positive energy by chanting the devotional hymn ‘Hanuman Chalisa’? Surprising, isn’t it? Well, Pandya confirmed it himself recently at an event, which is going viral on social media. ‘I still listen to Hanuman Chalisa inside Ferrari’: Hardik Pandya In the viral video, while speaking about where the India all rounder gets his confidence and positive energy from, Hardik Pandya said, “Hanuman Chalisa. Now it’s so fascinating that I have a Ferrari and I still listen to the Hanuman Chalisa inside the car.” “So it’s cool. God has been kind. I think everyone will agree with me as well that no song can give you as much positive energy as the Hanuman Chalisa. I’m very clear with that,” he further said at the ‘Fireside Chat at the Mix’ event. In a viral video, Pandya, Mumbai Indians captain, can be seen sitting with batting coach Kieron Pollard, where the Indian all-rounder kind of shocked the audience, and his revelation followed chants of “Jai Shri Ram’ from the latter.

Pandya received a lot of backlash from fans as they booed him at every game in 2024. However, the T20 World Cup campaign and IPL 2025 brought some redemption to his arc. India claimed the T20 WC 2024 title, and then he led MI to the play-offs in 2025. Now, considering his red-hot form and the mentioned divine ‘positive energy’, he can lead the Mumbai Indians to what they need the most now, the Indian Premier League 2026 title trophy. What’s Hanuman Chalisa? The Hanuman Chalisa is a book of hymns in praise of the monkey god Hanuman. It is a famous Hindi (Awadhi) devotional hymn of 40 verses dedicated to Lord Hanuman, composed by Goswami Tulsidas in the 16th century.
