Mumbai Indians star Hardik Pandya's wife Natasa Stankovic is currently accompanying the cricketer on his professional tour for Indian Premier League 2021, but the Serbian model is making sure that she makes the most of her time by engaging in various activities or going to different places.

Notably, Natasa on Thursday took to Instagram to post the pics from her outing on a beach in Chennai. The 29-year-old can be seen in a loose pink tie-dye T-shirt paired with black cycling shorts. Also, she covered her face with a yellow hat to avoid tanning.

"Stay wavy, baby," reads the caption of the post.
