While all eyes were on the field as India lifted the trophy at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 final at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, there was also plenty of buzz in the stands. Model Mahieka Sharma, rumoured girlfriend of Indian cricketer Hardik Pandya, caught everyone’s attention with her stylish stadium appearance.
A stylish ‘Bleed Blue’ moment
In a stadium filled with fans wearing jerseys and face paint, Mahieka chose a more elevated approach to show her support for Team India. She stepped out in a vibrant all-blue bodycon dress, perfectly matching the “Men in Blue” theme of the night.
The outfit was simple yet striking, creating a sleek stadium look that blended fashion with cricket enthusiasm. Unlike some of her previous glamorous looks, this appearance was minimal and chic—proof that sometimes less really is more.
Effortless beauty in stadium conditions
Despite the packed and humid atmosphere at the stadium, Mahieka’s look remained flawless. The model opted for fresh, natural makeup featuring a dewy base, subtle winged eyeliner and a soft nude-pink lip shade.
Her hair, styled in relaxed middle-parted waves, complemented the overall effortless vibe. Even after hours of cheering during India’s intense final clash against New Zealand national cricket team, her look remained picture-perfect.
A special night for Hardik and Mahieka
The night became even more memorable once India sealed the victory. Cameras captured several heartwarming moments between Hardik and Mahieka during the celebrations.
Mahieka later joined Pandya on the field, and a photo of her kissing him on the cheek while he was wrapped in the Indian tricolour quickly went viral online. She was also seen celebrating alongside Hardik’s son, Agastya Pandya, showing that she has become part of the cricketer’s close circle during the tournament.
Hardik had earlier confirmed his relationship with Mahieka following his divorce from Natasa Stankovic in 2024, and he has often spoken about how her support has helped him during an important phase of his career.
More than just a stadium appearance
At just 25, Mahieka Sharma has already built an impressive career in the fashion industry. She has walked the ramp for top designers such as Manish Malhotra and Anita Dongre at Lakme Fashion Week. Her profile rose even further after she won the IFA Model of the Year title in 2024.
While India’s historic World Cup win will dominate headlines, Mahieka’s effortless stadium style added a touch of glamour to the unforgettable night—proving that even in a stadium packed with thousands of fans, a well-put-together look can still steal the spotlight.
