Laughter is often described as the best medicine against stress and the all-rounder believes that, too. “I laugh a lot, thanks to my brothers. They make fun of me but that makes me laugh,” Pandya says.

No movie watching is complete without popcorn and Pandya says: “I love popcorn, that’s kind of a stress-buster for me.”

Despite all the heroics with the bat and the ball, the all-rounder still cherishes the moment when he received his India cap as his most memorable on-field moment.

Getting his first pay cheque from Mumbai Indians ranks as his best off-field memory.

He is equally thrilled about when he bought his dad a car with that pay cheque.

For Pandya, the pride of playing for India beats every other enticement that comes a professional athletes way.
