111

Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul are in hot waters after their appearance on late night talk show Koffee with Karan drew sharp criticism from cricket fans. They accused the duo of being Misogynist and sexist.

On the show, Pandya talked about hooking up with multiple women and When Karan Johar asked him why didn’t he ask women their name in a club, Pandya responded by saying, “I like to watch and observe how they (women) move. I’m little from the black side so I need to see how they move.

However, BCCI’s Committee of Administrators (COA) chief Vinod Rai has recommended a two-match ban for Hardik Pandya. COA member Diana Edulji is now seeking legal opinion and she also wants to know the opinion of other board members.

I am not convinced with Hardik’s explanation and I have recommended a two-match ban for both players. However the final decision will be taken once Diana gives her go ahead,” Rai told PTI.

Diana has sought legal opinion whether the duo can be banned. So, obviously, a decision will be taken once she gives her nod. As far as I am concerned, the comments were crass, in bad taste and unacceptable,” Rai said.

Pandya later apologised on Twitter and said that he got “carried away with the nature of the show“. But he is still under fire from cricket fans.
