Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul Stare At 2-Match Ban After Misogynist Comments on Koffee With Karan 6; COA Chief Vinod Rai Recommends Action

Troubles seem to be brewing for Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul who appeared on the chat show Koffee With Karan 6. Hardik Pandya was slammed by the netizens for his misogynist comments. Post this, Pandya issued an apology on Twitter. However, that just didn’t seem enough as the BCCI then slapped the cricketers with a show cause notice and were given 24 hours to explain their comments. Hardik Pandya apologised once again but KL was yet to explain himself. COA member Diana Edulji was however not happy with the warning, but also wanted the BCCI to take firm steps against the cricketers by issuing them with a ban. Now, COA Chief Vinod Rai also went on to second Edulji’s opinion.  Hardik Pandya Apologises for His Comments on Koffee With Karan 6; Says, ‘I Got Carried Away’ (Watch Video). 

He has recommended a ban for both the cricketers. "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.” He also went on to say that Diana is looking out to explore legal options if the two cricketers can be banned or not. Hardik Pandya & KL Rahul to be Banned for Comments on Koffee With Karan 6?

During the chat with Karan Johar, the Indian all-rounder went on to reveal about himself hooking up with different women and sending the same texts to multiple women. He even said that he told his parents when he lost his virginity.
