Personal Life
Aaron Hardie is just a 26-year-old who was actually born in Bournemouth, England, but now plays for the Australian team on the international stage. That’s just because he moved there with his family when he was just a little kid, so practically, he grew up in Perth, Australia.
As for his personal life, well, he has already put it out there that he is in a relationship with Anna Bodlovich. Right now, the couple live together in Perth, and they just love to travel and do outdoor activities, which they share with the fans on social media too.
Professional Life and IPL Career
For those who haven’t seen Aaron play for the Punjab Kings yet, well, he is actually more like a batting allrounder, but he has done well with the ball too in the domestic cricket circuit of Australia. He had been playing senior cricket for Western Australia, and had kinda impressed the experts with bat as well as with ball. Like in First Class cricket, his highest score is 174*. So, looking at his FC and Big Bash League performances, sure enough, the selectors had to give him a chance, and that’s why, back in 2023, he ended up making his debut in ODI as well as T20 format for the Australian team on the international stage.
Looking at how well he was doing for the Australian team and his performances in the Big Bash League, surely, everyone saw it coming that his IPL debut was loading. And that happened this year in the 18th season of the IPL, when the Punjab Kings picked him for a whopping INR 1.25 crores in the auctions, and now he is part of their squad. Though so far, we haven’t seen him make his IPL debut because he hasn’t played in a single match so far.
