Cricket News: Pandya and Rahul needed a ‘rap on their knuckles’ - Ravi Shastri

India head coach Ravi Shastri has said that the duo of K L Rahul and Hardik Pandya needed"the rap on their knuckles", referring to the duo's sexist comments on a popular TV show. Pandya and Rahul had come under severe criticism for their comments on a popular chat show with some former cricketers calling for the duo to be banned for a year. As soon as the whole controversy broke out the duo were sent back home from the tour of Australia. With regards to the whole issue the team India coach added. "Pandya and Rahul needed the rap on their knuckles. They would have learnt a lot from what happened, which is good, you are bound to make mistakes and you are bound to be punished at times but that's not the end of the world. Such experiences just help players to come back stronger, harder and wiser," he said.
