“Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul can still be role models,” feels Rahul Dravid, who is currently the coach of the Under-19 Indian cricket team. The former Indian captain said that the duo haven’t still reached their full potential and maybe the current episode (of making sexist remarks on Koffee With Karan 6) becomes a catalyst for them, and they come out as better players.
Speaking to Cricinfo, Rahul Dravid said that he was glad that the CoA had lifted the suspension on Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul. He also that there is an impending inquiry going on against the duo, and the process should be completed.

Dravid said, “I did not see the full show. I saw bits and pieces. At one level the players themselves have come out and said how disappointed they were with the way it came out, and rightly so. Clearly, when you are representing India, you need to be a bit careful with your public views and comments that you make,” when asked if he did see the full episode on which Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul spoke.
Recently Rahul Dravid had said that one should not overreact on what is going on in this issue. He clarified saying, “Sometimes we forget that mistakes have happened in the past. They will happen in the future. If you were to read the papers or if I were to hear comments it comes across as if it is only happening now. I can understand some of the anger, I can understand some of the reactions, but one has to understand mistakes will happen.” Should Karan Johar Be Booed For Hardik Pandya Fiasco On 'Koffee With Karan'?.
Dravid also said that he had coached both the players at different levels and how he felt that the interview didn’t reflect the players truly. He added, “I will say honestly, I do believe that both of them have not yet achieved their obvious potential ths-immaculate-actress-looks-bold-and-beautiful-in-black-corset-and-boots-view-pics-5906263.html" title="Sydney Sweeney Channels Seductive Pirate Vibes; Immaculate Actress Looks Bold and Beautiful in Black Corset and Boots!
