India all-rounder Hardik Pandya is potentially staring at severe punishment for his insensitive comments on a TV show while his teammate KL Rahul, who also appeared with him on Karan Johar's show, may get a lesser punishment.

After the Committee of Administrators (CoA) chief Vinod Rai recommended a two-match suspension for the players' remarks on the Koffee with Karan show, CoA member Diana Edulji invited suggestions from the BCCI secretary Amitabh Choudhary and the legal department before the CoA decides on the quantum of punishment.
