Hardik Pandya, KL Rahul Ruled Out Of New Zealand Series, Supreme Court To Appoint Ombudsman

Well, the troubles continue to stretch for Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul. Recently, they were suspended to play any form of the game. Now, they receive yet another bad news, as they were ruled out from playing in New Zealand tour. In the latest development, Supreme Court adjourns BCCI hearing to next week.

The Supreme Court will hear BCCI’s plea in next week and then, they will appoint ombudsman on Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul for further enquiry. This takes the matter into another course, which might harm their regular style of living and also their national contract.

Hardik Pandya, KL Rahul was called back from mid-tour:

GS Vivek, an Associate Editor of ABP news, wrote on his Twitter panel that the duo has been ruled out for the upcoming New Zealand tour. Further, he added that the fate of the concerned cricketers will be known in the next week hearing in supreme court.

Breaking news : SC adjourns @bcci matter for next week. Court will appoint ombudsman only in next week hearing. So #Pandya and #KLRahul decision goes into further limbo. Now ruled out of New Zealand series. @BCCI @Wahcricketlive

In the recently aired talk show named Koffee With Karan that has a huge fan base in India, Hardik Pandya has passed on sexist comments. Just after Hardik Pandya passing the comments, the people out there showed their anger on the social media causing outrage to Hardik Pandya. Eventually, it made an impact on his career alongside KL Rahul.

Following the episode, they were issued show-cause notice by the respective board. In reply, Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul have tendered an unconditional apology to the board but unfortunately, they didn’t accept it.

All in all, it is going to be a tough few days for Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul. As Hardik Pandya said in his apology, he was carried away in the show and will take quality time to regain the love from the Indian people.

Meanwhile, it is interesting to see the quantum of punishment. The duo has been India’s top-class players, who can make an impact on the game.  With ICC World Cup 2019 around the corner, they would hope things would calm down sooner rather than later.
