Hardik Pandya runs with pet dog tied behind him, internet calls it ‘cruel', tags PETA: ‘Really sad, unfair'
'Out for a run with my partners in crime,' wrote Hardik in the caption of his Instagram post.
The first picture is a selfie of him with Agastya inside an elevator. Their pet dog is also seen with them on a leash.
In the following videos, Hardik is seen running on tracks and training himself. However, he wasn't alone. He tied his pet dog behind him on a leash and ran. While it looked like any other adorable dog video on the internet, many raised concerns about the four-legged animal.
Reacting to the post, a user wrote in the comments, 'Kutte ki jan loge kya bhai (do you want to kill your dog?)'
'This is really sad, you shouldn't do this to such a small dog!! Or a big one for that matter,' added another.
One more commented, 'Leash over the neck for this can injure the dog.'
Someone also tagged PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals), the international animal rights organisation, for their intervention. The person wrote, '@peta please verify.'
'This is CRUEL. Poor pup,' said yet another worried netizen.
On the work front, Hardik Pandya is currently out of action for Team India until October, ahead of the Australia tour.
He is recuperating and training himself after a decent IPL 2025 season, where the Mumbai Indians finished 4th after being knocked out by the Punjab Kings.
Last month, Hardik was in the news not for his matches but for his alleged past dating rumours with Bollywood actor Esha Gupta.
During a candid chat on Siddharth Kannan's YouTube channel, Esha confirmed that she and Hardik were indeed in touch with each other for a brief period. She added that things never progressed into a relationship, as assumed by many.
'There was a time we were talking… maybe it would happen, maybe it wouldn't. But we never reached the dating stage,' Esha said.
'We met once or twice, that's all. It ended before anything even began.'
The actor also clarified that there was no bad blood between them. 'There was no drama or bitterness. It just wasn't meant to be," she added.

Kareena Kapoor takes dig at Prada in Kolhapuri style: 'Sorry not Prada...'
Kareena Kapoor just took a dig at luxury label Prada and gave desi fashion a shoutout. Following the Kolhapuri chappal row, the Bollywood actress took to her Instagram to call out the global fashion giant for allegedly copying the design of Indian Kolhapuri chappals. 'Sorry not my OG Kolhapuri,' Kareena Kapoor posted on her Instagram account, with a photo of her wearing Kolhapuri chappals — a traditional Indian footwear which is now at the centre of controversy. Kareena Kapoor's post Prada's recent showcase at the Men's Spring/Summer 2026 fashion show in Milan on June 22 stirred controversy after the Italian luxury fashion brand unveiled its new 'Toe Ring Sandals' — a design that closely mirrors Indian Kolhapuri chappals. The footwear was presented under the luxury label's banner without clear credits to its cultural roots, which drew criticism. Traditionally handcrafted by artisans from Maharashtra's Kolhapur district and parts of Karnataka, Kolhapuri chappals are unisex leather sandals. Kolhapuri sandals are characterised by their braided leather straps and intricate cutwork. Diet Sabya — an anonymous Instagram account that specialises in exposing imitations, appropriations, and blatant copies in the fashion industry — also reposted Kareena Kapoor's story. Diet Sabya's post The Prada row escalated further with a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) being filed at the Bombay High Court on July 2 demanding that the Italian fashion house must compensate Indian artisans. The PIL, filed by Intellectual Property Rights advocate Ganesh S Hingemire also sought a public apology of Prada and a direction to the government for protection of the Indian traditional designs. Following the massive backlash for plagiarising Indian artisans' work, Prada shared a statement accepting that its latest summer wear collection was 'inspired by traditional Indian handcrafted footwear with a centuries-old heritage.' However, the petitioners claim that the fashion brand (Prada) has not issued any "formal apology" along with any "damages", "compensation" and "entitled remedy" to the Maharashtrian artisans.

'I will try to score 200 next time': 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi after scoring fastest hundred in Youth ODIs
Vaibhav Suryavanshi of India (Photo by) India's young sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who became the youngest T20 centurion in IPL 2025 with the second-fastest century against Gujarat Titans a couple of months ago, has now set another world record. The 14-year-old achieved the fastest hundred in Youth ODIs, scoring a 52-ball century against England U19 on Saturday. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! The teenage cricketer has already set his sights on his next achievement. He aims to score a double-century in the upcoming match scheduled for July 7 in Worcester. "I will try to score 200 next time. I'll try to play all 50 overs because the more runs I score, the more my team will benefit," Suryavanshi said in a video posted by BCCI . The young batter, attending the Test match in Birmingham, found inspiration in Test captain Shubman Gill 's historic innings at Edgbaston, where Gill scored 269, the highest score ever by an Indian captain. However, Suryavanshi, when asked, was unaware that he had broken the record for the fastest Youth ODI century. "I didn't know I had made a record. Team manager Ankit sir told me that I have... I was very inspired by him [Shubman Gill] because I saw the game," he said. "Even after scoring 100 and 200, he kept at it and took the game forward. So, I also had it in mind that I could have batted for longer because there was a lot of time, 20 overs were left. I could have extended my innings but there was a shot that I couldn't connect 100% which is why I got out; otherwise, I would have tried to bat as long as him."
