People make mistakes, let’s move on: Ganguly on Pandya-Rahul

TIL Desk Sports/ Former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly has said ‘we should move on’ from the controversy surrounding Hardik Pandya and K L Rahul’s sexist comments because he is sure the two will learn from it and become better persons. Ganguly said he hasn’t seen the Koffee with Karan episode in which Pandya and Rahul’s misogynistic comments on women led to a provisional suspension on them.

But he offered a sympathetic view on the under-fire duo.”People make mistakes, let’s not go too far here. I am sure, whoever has done it will realise and come out a better person. We are human beings not machines that we will always be perfect. We should move on and make sure it doesn’t happen again,” Ganguly said on the raging controversy.

Pandya and Rahul were forced to return midway through the ongoing ODI series against Australia and India captain Virat Kohli condemned their statements on hookups with multiple women as ‘inappropriate’. They have been show caused twice by the BCCI since then and are also being put through an inquiry. Ganguly said most cricketers are ‘great guys’.
