Team India's flamboyant all-rounder Hardik Pandya, who returned from Australia ahead of the ODI series after being suspended by the BCCI over his controversial comments on a recent TV show, Koffee with Karan, did not celebrate Makar Sankranti yesterday.

Pandya, instead, stayed put in his Baroda house, watching India beat Australia in the second ODI at the Adelaide Oval, his father Himanshu revealed to mid-day. "He watched the match. Ever since he has returned from Australia, he has not stepped out of the house. He is also not taking any calls... he is just taking rest," said Pandya Sr.
