After the controversy caused by the infamous talk show Koffee with Karan, hosted by Bollywood filmmaker Karan Johar, Indian players Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul found themselves in grave trouble.
They made some comments, which were simply misogynistic and sexist and angered people all over. This prompted the BCCI to suspend these two players indefinitely.
But, after many discussions, decision was made to let off the ban, and so with immediate effect they returned to the team. Though Rahul will play for India A.
Hardik directly joined the national team in New Zealand where they are playing the five match ODI. Pandya replaced Dhoni and made a stunning comeback by dismissing Kane Williamson through a diving catch.
Every one was thrilled to see Pandya performing so well in his comeback match. Netizens praised him a lot. Check it out.
