A viral video of Indian cricketer Hardik Pandya driving his newly-acquired Ferrari has set social media abuzz, but not entirely for the right reasons.
Shared widely with captions claiming the Mumbai Indians captain was spotted “shirtless” behind the wheel of his luxurious Ferrari 12Cilindri after a practice session in Mumbai, the clip has sparked curiosity and speculation ahead of the IPL 2026 season.
However, a fact-check reveals the claim is completely false. Upon closer examination of the footage, Hardik is clearly wearing a maroon-coloured sleeveless T-shirt—not shirtless as alleged. The misleading description, including one popular post reading, “Shirtless Hardik Pandya spotted driving his new Ferrari 12Cilindri after practice in Mumbai.” 🤯 AURA FARMING…! 🥶” (shared by @Cricsam01 on X) has been debunked as a case of exaggerated or mistaken observation.
The video itself captures a genuine moment: Hardik arriving or departing from Mumbai Indians’ training in his high-end supercar, which he reportedly added to his garage following India’s T20 World Cup triumph in 2026. Known for his flair both on and off the field, Pandya’s collection already boasts premium rides like a Lamborghini Urus SE, Range Rover Vogue, and Mercedes models.
As the IPL kicks off on March 28— with Mumbai Indians facing Kolkata Knight Riders on March 29 at Wankhede Stadium — this episode serves as a timely reminder to verify viral claims before sharing. In an era of rapid misinformation, even celebrity sightings can get twisted for clicks.
