Indian Cricketer Hardik Pandya was recently spotted with the POCO X5 Pro ahead of the X5 series launch. Now, the company has officially announced that it is appointing the known athlete as its brand ambassador in India.

With the new appointment, we can expect to see Hardik Pandya promoting the brand directly. He will likely also be a part of the Chinese smartphone maker’s promotions for its upcoming X5 series. The company claims that the X5 lineup will arrive with a number of upgrades and improvements over its predecessor.
