As per Times of India, Jitendra Kumar said that both Krunal and Hardik provided financial assistance worth Rs 70-80 lakhs in order to ensure that his sister’s wedding ceremony was a success. Recalling the incident from 2018, the coach revealed that the brothers had transferred Rs 20 lakh to buy a car for his second sister’s marriage in addition to providing other monetary assistance for his first sister’s wedding.
“Hardik and Krunal ensured that my first sister’s wedding took place smoothly in 2018, stepping up with monetary assistance. Not only this, they also transferred Rs 20 lakh for purchasing a car, along with other gifts, during my second sister’s marriage in February 2024,” he said.
Further, Jitendra revealed that Hardik had even gifted him a car after his maiden Team India appearance back in 2015-16.
“Hardik further gifted me a car which cost Rs 5-6 lakh after returning from India’s 2015-16 tour of Australia, which marked his first appearance with the national team, despite not being financially strong. I was caught by surprise and wasn’t agreeable initially. Even Krunal attempted to convince me. However, I eventually relented after Hardik said, ‘We are giving you a car for your safety. You shouldn’t suffer an accident while driving a bike’. That was his way of acknowledging a coach who’d always been there when needed,” added Jitendra.
