India all-rounder Hardik Pandya shared an adorable post for wife Natasa Stankovic on the occasion of their third engagement anniversary. Notably, Hardik and Natasa got engaged on January 1, 2020, on a cruise before tying the knot during the COVID-19 lockdown. Later that year, the pair was blessed with a baby boy, named Agastya. As the couple celebrated their third engagement anniversary on Sunday, Hardik shared a picture with Natasa, and captioned the post: "Happy 3 years to us baby".
Notably, Hardik will lead the Indian team during the three-match T20I series against Sri Lanka, starting on January 3.
He was named the captain of the T20I team and was promoted as vice-captain in ODIs against Sri Lanka. Rohit Sharma will lead the team in the ODIs.
Hardik's elevation as T20I skipper while being Rohit's deputy in the ODIs might be seen as a hint of transition that the side is likely to go through in the coming months.
Pandya, who led Gujarat Titans to IPL triumph during the 2022, edition was touted as Rohit's replacement after India lost to England in the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup. The T20I team has a fresh look with two uncapped pacers Shivam Mavi and Mukesh Kumar being inducted into the shortest format.
While Rohit is still recovering from a thumb injury, the BCCI press release did not state anything on whether Pandya's appointment was a permanent change or just for one series.
India's squad for Sri Lanka T20Is: Hardik Pandya (Captain), Ishan Kishan (wk), Ruturaj Gaikwad, Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav (VC), Deepak Hooda, Rahul Tripathi, Sanju Samson, Washington Sundar, Yuzvendra Chahal, Axar Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Harshal Patel, Umran Malik, Shivam Mavi, Mukesh Kumar.
India's squad for Sri Lanka ODIs: Rohit Sharma (Captain), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (wk), Ishan Kishan (wk), Hardik Pandya (VC), Washington Sundar, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, Axar Patel, Mohd. Shami, Mohd. Siraj, Umran Malik, Arshdeep Singh.

Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, who on Sunday visited injured Rishabh Pant at the Max Hospital here, said the cricketer's car hit the divider while he was trying to avoid a pothole on the Delhi-Dehradun highway.
Pant is stable and his condition is improving, sources at the hospital said.
"He (Pant) said the car swerved across the road while trying to avoid a pothole or something black," Dhami told reporters after meeting the cricketer at the hospital.
The Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) Director, Shyam Sharma, who met Pant on Saturday, had also said quoting the batter that the accident occurred when he was trying to negotiate a pothole in the early hours of Friday.
The massive accident had occurred at around 5.30 am on Friday when Pant's luxury car hit a road divider near Roorkee in Haridwar district and burst into flames causing multiple injuries to the cricketer who had a miraculous escape.
The chief minister was at the hospital for nearly an hour taking an update on Pant's condition from his mother, sister and doctors.
He assured them that the state government will give all help for the treatment of the cricketer.
Earlier in the day, Dhami announced that the Haryana Roadways driver and conductor who rushed to the cricketer's rescue immediately after the accident and helped save his life will be honoured on the occasion of the Republic Day.
"By saving the life of the cricketer at the risk of their own lives, the Haryana Roadways driver and conductor have set an example for others. The state government will honour them on January 26," Dhami said at the inauguration of a residential hostel for orphans and poor children here.
Haryana Roadways bus driver Sushil Kumar and conductor Paramjit saw Pant's car hitting a divider and rolling to the other side of the road. They parked the bus along the roadside and rushed to rescue the cricketer. They pulled him out of the car and called the police.

R Krishnakumar, a close aide of Ratan Tata and a group veteran, died Sunday evening, officials said.
Kerala-born Krishnakumar, who had served at multiple positions in the group, including heading its hospitality arm Indian Hotels, was 84.
The Padma Shri awardee suffered a heart attack at his home in the financial capital on Sunday, they said.
Tata Sons' current chairman N Chandrasekaran offered condolences for Krishnakumar's "enormous contribution" to the Tata Group.
"I had the good fortune of knowing him and what stood out was his deep sense of compassion as a human being. He always wanted to help the less privileged and positively impact their lives. We pray for his departed soul and will sorely miss him," Mr Chandrasekaran said in a statement.
Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan tweeted that Thalassery-born Krishnakumar helped strengthen the ties of the group with the southern state and offered condolences to the family.
Krishnakumar had been active with the Tata Trusts after his retirement from executive roles and was reportedly a part of the team which worked alongside Ratan Tata in the Cyrus Mistry ouster episode.
Krishnakumar's cremation will be held at Chandanwadi Crematorium here at 4.30 pm on Monday.

From film stars to world leaders to the Queen herself, the world lost a number of beloved and influential figures in 2022 who made their mark in the worlds of film, music, sports, and politics. Paying tribute to them, a picture has surfaced on social media sites showing hundreds of celebrities who died in 2022. More than 190 celebrities including Queen Elizabeth, Madeleine Albright, Shane Warne, Sidney Poitier, Robbie Coltrane, Olivia Newton-John, Ray Liotta, Coolio, Bob Saget, Taylor Hawkins, and Dame Deborah James have been featured in the image.
Queen Elizabeth's death in September was arguably the most high-profile death in 2022. The Queen died aged 96 on September 8, after 70 years on the throne, making her one of the world's longest-serving monarchs. One of the most shocking death was of 16-year-old Kailia Posey, who appeared in the reality TV show 'Toddlers and Tiaras' and is known as the face of the 'Grinning Girl' meme. She died by suicide.
In the final days of 2022, the world said goodbye to several beloved figures including Brazilian footballer Pele, British fashion designer Vivienne Westwood and US television journalist Barbara Walters. On New Year's Eve, Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI died at the age of 95.
A Reddit page called r/pics shared the image and captioned it as ''Year 2022 was ruthless. RIP.''
See the image here:
The artwork has been originally created by a British artist named Chris Barker. According to a Reuters report, the image is inspired by the cover art for The Beatles' 1967 album, ‘Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band'.
Here is the original image and a list of all celebrities featured:

Reacting to the image, one user wrote, ''Another year, another excellent @christhebarker collage tribute to those who left us this year. These always get me, as there are those you'd forgotten had gone, and some you didn't know. Taylor Hawkins sitting next to the drum is a nice touch. RIP all.''
Not just in 2022, the British artist produces such artwork every year, capturing the public figures who died during the year.

“I've been doing this since 2016. That was the year anyone who was nice or kind or creative or special decided it was time to leave before the bad stuff started. Or at least that's how it felt at the time. I've become a little bit desensitised to it over the years. I mean, I still try and keep the star's dignity and think of their loved ones and how it would make them feel to see it, but – let's face it – I make notes over the course of the year now rather than just waiting til November. It's a thing,” Mr Barker told Billboard in 2016.
