Chennai: Cricketing all-rounder Hardik Pandya, who is facing the heat for his sexist and controversial remarks on the talk show Koffee with Karan, is likely to lose an endorsement contract.
Pandya and his team-mate K L Rahul are being bundled out of Australia for their remarks on the show that drew widespread condemnation. India and Australia began their ODI series this morning, from which these two players have been banned.
It is said they will face an inquiry panel and the quantum of punishment would be decided after that.
In the meantime, Pandya, who was supposed to endorse a fitness equipment for a sporting company, will not be signed on for the contract, say reports.
The TV channel has since taken down the unsavoury episode.
