While 2020 has been a horrible year for the entire world, so far, 2019 wasn’t too hot for Team India all-rounder Hardik Pandya either.

India’s shocking loss at the World Cup and Hardik’s back injury which ruled him out of the tournament for over five months was just a couple of big hurdles he faced during this time. However, one of the biggest controversies of his professional career also took place when he decided to partner up with his best friend and India teammate KL Rahul on Karan Johar’s chat show ‘Koffee With Karan’.

In a recent Instagram live session with Dinesh Karthik, Pandya recalled the moment when ev?erything got out of his hand and how he became a villain overnigh??t.

“One coffee I had, mere ko bahut mehengi padi vo (proved to be too costly for me),” Hardik said.

“If you calculate all the coffee Starbucks have sold till now, mine was much costlier than that,” he added.

Well, with the kind of hate Hardik faced from his fans and female ce?lebs in the country, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had to take action and they ended up by handing a ban to both P??andya and Rahul for the same ahead of the Australia ODIs and New Zealand tour.

Since then, Hardik has been working hard to impr??ove his image.

His back surgery also garn?ered him a lot of support and good wishes from his fans and followers; he even engaged to be married to Serbian actress Natasa Stanko?vic.

KL Rahul has been in-form of his life, be it with the bat or behind the stumps in the home? series against Australia and the recently concluded away series against New Zealand.

While ??the 27-year-old is enjoying his time o?n-field, his off-field controversy somehow is not willing to leave his side.

After his appearance at ‘Koffee with Karan’ with teammate Hardik Pandya, both the cricketers were banned by the Board of Control for Cricket in Ind?ia (BCCI) for some of the controversial remarks made by them on the chat show.

Recently, while talking about the incident, Rahul said how his life has changed ?after the sho?w.

“Everybody kept saying time will heal, but you don’t see it as a young guy. I hadn’t really performed well earlier in Australia [December 2018-January 2019]. There was that frustration. It was tough on my family as well because my mom and dad worry about society, what people will say,” Rahul was quoted as saying in GQ India.

“I sulked, I won’t lie. I didn’t want to do anything. The only thing that made me forget what was happening was training, cricket, and some golf. Now, after a year, when people say ‘time heals,’ ‘everything happens for the best’, etc., these clichéd lines start to feel true”.

Th??e Karnat??aka lad also revealed that it was difficult for him to move on after the incident.

“I personally needed a hit like that to wake up and know which direction I’m going in. I realized I wasn’t good at anything else [except cricket]. I was too far into this, I’d chosen what I have to do, and I had to give it everything. From there, my focus became better. It made me stronger and more disciplined,” KL added.

As far as Rahul’s on-field performance is concerned, the stylish batsman scored 224 runs in the five-match T20I series against the Black Caps and was rewarded as the ‘Man of the Man Series’.

Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul faced severe criticism following their appearance on ‘Koffee With Karan’, the famous reality show hosted by Hindi film-maker Karan Johar. Pandya had brazenly bragged about his prowess with women on the show, and it was not received well.

Pandya announced his engagement with Serbian actress Natasa Stankovic on New Year’s day during their vacation in Dubai and the news had taken the internet by storm.

Regarding the criticism, he received for the misogynistic remarks on the chat show, the all-rounder stated that ‘the ball wasn’t in his court’ and he had no clue of proceedings from thereon.

“We as cricketers did not know what was going to happen. The ball was not in my court, it was in some else’s court where they had to take the shot and that’s a very vulnerable place you don’t want to b??e,�Pandya was quoted as saying in India Today.

For the uninitiated, Hardik and Rahul were issued notices by the BCCI after their controversial remarks during the show. They were suspended from the team due to which they cou?ld not play the ODI series against Australia.

Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya recently featured in a celebrity talk-show ‘Koffee With Karan’ and made some sexist remarks on women. Thereafter, he has been a recipient of severe criticism from every nook and corner of the country.

Even the Board of Control for Cricket in India (B??CCI) came down hard on him and sent him a show-cause notice, asking him to reply on the shambolic matter in the talk-show.

The Co??mmittee of Administrators (CoA), headed by Vinod Rai, also handed him an indefinite suspension un??til a further enquiry on the matter. He was sent home midway from the tour of Australia and his replacement has also been named.

Diana Edulji, Rai’s colleague and former Indian women’s cricketer, also hinted that the 25-year-old might miss the World Cup, starting on May 30.

In the meantime, Esha Gupta, who was once rumoured to be in a relationship with Hardik Pandya and even marrying him, has denied she is even friends with him. The Bollywood actress lashed out at his recent controversial comments by saying that such views were ‘wrong on humanity’.

When asked about Hardik and KL Rahul’s comments on ‘Koffee with Karan’, Esha replied, “Many times people get more excited and say such things. I think even then a little education should be given on how to talk, especially about women.”

She felt everyone associated with the show is accountable for an answer, “We publicize such things and later raise questions, I think we should question everyone involved in the show.”

When a journalist termed the all-rounder as her ‘friend’ while asking a question, she denied it by saying, “Who is the one who told you (Hardik Pandya) is my friend?”

She continued by slamming Hardik for his comments. “Firstly, women should not compare themselves with men. We are the best in every respect. I don’t want anyone to feel bad, but why don’t you give birth to a child? We suffer from periods five days every month and even then we have to dance, go to an office, and take care of the children. When you can do all this, you become superior.”

“I do not think anyone should talk bad about any woman, if you think your family is not worried about it, then be it, but it is wrong on humanity,” the 33-year-old actress added.

While Karan Johar’s talk show, Koffee With Karan, often grabs attention for all the revelations celebrities make on it, the episode with Indian cricketers Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul went a little too far.

Hardik’s sexist statements about women created a storm, which resulted in him and Rahul being suspended by the BCCI for the ODI series in Australia and New Zealand tour.

To add to their disappointment, Diana Edulji, a part of the Supreme Court-appointed Committee of Administrators (CoA) and former Indian women’s cricketer, hinted that the duo could miss out on playing the World Cup, starting May.

In the meantime, it has been reported that Bollywood actress and former Miss Diva, Urvashi Rautela, is taken back by what Pandya commented about her in the?? show.

During the episode which aired last Sunday ??on television and online streaming platform Hotstar, Karan asked the all-rounder who would he kill, marry and hook up with to which Pandya replied that he would ki?ll Urvashi, hook up with Esha Gupta and marry Parineeti Chopra.

The comments haven’t gone down well with the 24-year-old actress by any stretch of the imagination as Pandya had earlier claimed to be more than just her buddy as per reports in Mid Day. She must be wondering why the Baroda cricketer passed such a harsh comment on her.

The duo has often been spotted at different parties and events together and has grabbed quite a few eyebal?ls.

As far as Pandya’s suspension is concerned, the BCCI earlier sent him a show-cause notice asking him to reply within 24 hours. Now, he has been given a one week time in order to explain why a further probe into the matter shouldn’t be done.

Ace spinner Harbhajan Singh on Friday slammed Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul for their controversial interview on Koffee with Karan, ??saying they h??ave put the reputations of cricketers at stake.

Pandya and Rahul have been issued show-cause notices and have been suspen?ded from the Indian team prov?isionally.

Harbhajan minced no words and said, “Look, the punishment could be a two-match or three-match ban. That will not change anything. Their reputation was at stake, they have lost the trust of their teammates. If he comes and stands next to you at a party, would you like to stand next to him? I will not travel with these two guys in the same bus because if my daughter, if my wife is travelling in the team bus.. how would they feel? You are looking at women in only one angle? That’s not right.”

On the show, Pandya had boasted about hooking up with multiple women and being open about it with his parents. Rahul was, however, a little more restrained in his responses on relationships and women. When asked by the host Karan Johar if they had “done it in teammates’ rooms,” both Pandya and Rahul responded in the positive.

“We don’t talk about all this even with our friends and they were talking on public television. Now people might think was Harbhajan Singh like this, was Anil Kumble like this and was Sachin Tendulkar�#8221; Harbhajan told to? India Today.

The under-fire? players have been suspended pending an inquiry into their sexist comments, ruling them out of the ongoing three-match ODI se??ries against Australia.

I was just about 18, when my mother found it (condom) and she made my dad yell at me. So obviously my dad, in front of my mother, gave me a proper hearing and then she went to sleep.

There was this party where my parents were sitting and they’re like, “Teri wali kaun kaun hai (Who all are yours?)”

Actually, I sat with them and I was like, ‘Yeh, yeh, woâ€?sabke saath kuch na kuch raha hai mera (This, this…I’ve got something with everyone)”.

They said, “Waahhâ€?(Wow), we are proud of you beta.”

5.) Dating cheerleaders

Karan to Hardik: Yo??u are not getting distracted at all?

KL Rahul: He’s been with all of them.

Karan: ?Who has copy-pasted the same flirty te??xt to multiple women?

(Hardik accepts its him)

KL Rahul: And I’ve gotten those screenshots from two different people saying, “Tell him to at least send us different messages.”

Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul have been? suspended pending an inquiry in??to their comments during a talk show, ruling them out of the ODI series against Australia starting Saturday.

The cricketers, who have been in the eye of a storm following their remarks on ‘Koffee with Karan’, were omitted from the line-up for the first ODI in Sydney.

“Both Pandya and Rahul have been suspended pending an inquiry,” the Committee of Administrators (CoA) chairman Vinod Rai is quoted as saying by PTI.

Moreover, the duo is heading back?? home from Australia to face t?he inquiry.

The BCCI has convened the six-member panel to probe in??to the matter and the cricketers will face soon after coming back to India acco?rding to News 18.

According to reports, the decision to hand them suspensions came after Rai’s CoA colleague Diana Edulji recommended suspension till further action against the two. This was after the BCCI’s legal team refused to declare the duo’s comments a violation of the code of conduct.

Edulji had initially suggested a two-match suspension for the duo but referred the matter to the leg?al cell after Vinod Rai agreed with her and recommended the same.

“It is imperative that players be put under suspension till further course of action is decided for this misconduct as was done in case of (BCCI) CEO (Rahul Johri) when he was sent on leave on sexual harassment matter,” read Edulji’s response to the legal opinion which is in possession of PTI.

Their remarks on the show were also condemned by India captain Virat Kohli, who called them inappropriate and asserted that the side does not stand by “those individual opinions”.
