Indian cricketers issued show cause notices for comments on TV show 

The cricketers were served notices for their 'misogynist and sexist' comments on the talk show.

Indian cricketers Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul provoked furious backlash with their comments on women on the TV show 'Koffee with Karan' which is hosted by Bollywood director Karan Johar.
Both cricketers were have been slapped show cause notices by the BCCI after their 'misogynist and sexist' comments on the talk show triggered massive outrage.   
Pandya later apologised on Twitter for his remarks on the TV show and wrote: 'After reflecting on my comments on Koffee with Karan, I would like to apologise to everyone concerned who I may have hurt in any way. Honestly, 
I got a bit carried away with the nature of the show. In no way did I mean to disrespect or hurt anyone's sentiments. Respect'. While Rahul has not yet responded to the criticism.
"We have sent show cause notices to Hardik Pandya and K L Rahul for their comments. They have been given 24 hours to give an explanation," Chairman of the Committee of Administrators that runs the BCCI, Vinod Rai, said. While a BCCI source said, "It will be considered whether players should even be allowed to appear on such shows which have got nothing to do with cricket."  
On the show, Pandya boasted about hooking up with multiple women and about also how open he has been about it with his parents. When posed a question by Karan Johar that why he didn't ask women their names in clubs, Pandya responded by saying, "I like to watch and observe how they (women) move. I'm little from the black side so I need to see how they move." Soon after the show, it is learnt that he was reprimanded by the BCCI top brass, reported Indian Express.  
Former BCCI general manager, Ratnakar Shetty, called Pandya's conduct a "disgrace to the cricket community." Shetty tweeted, "It is time the BCCI decides to take corrective steps for cricketers who talk rubbish on public platforms. Hardik Pandya was a disgrace to the cricket community the way he spoke on Koffee with Karan show. He has insulted the women and also made a racist remark."  
Twitter users weren't pleased with Pandya's objectification of women and several angry comments poured in hitting out at the cricketers.  
Pandya is currently with the Indian team in Australia where it recently recorded a historic maiden Test series win.
