Hardik Pandya is back with a bang after his ban was lifted by the BCCI and was among runs and wickets during the ODI series against New Zealand.
However, it seems his sexist comments on Koffee with Karan are not going to leave him easily. At T20 international match between the two sides, a girl trolled the Indian all-rounder by holding a banner that read, “Pandya Aaj Karke Aaya Kya?”

It’s not online trolling

Pandya was not the only one who was targeted over his remarks. Kuggeleijn, the Kiwi player, who was accused of raping a woman in 2015, had to bear the brunt of public anger.
There were posters which referred to #MeToo and one of the posters said: “Wake up, NZ Cricket, #MeToo”.
