Cricketers KL Rahul and Hardik Pandya made their debut appearance on Karan Johar’s infamous chat show Koffee with Karan season 6 on 6 January. While one side of Twitter is bashing the cricketers for choosing Virat Kohli as
the better batsman over Sachin Tendulkar, the other has criticised Hardik for his misogyny and obnoxious attitude.

He narrated an incident where he had gone to a party with his parents and they had asked him about which women he had a “scene” with there. He said, “And I actually had to tell them. ‘This one. This one. This one.” He also spoke about losing his virginity and declaring it to his parents, “Aaj mai kar ke aaya.” (I did it today)
This is so classic! All guys are offended that Hardik Pandya chose Virat over Sachin and not by his absolutely disgusting, classless, misogynist behaviour. #KoffeeWithKaran

It might have been fun initially to watch two young sportsmen letting their guards down, but the obnoxious and misogynist attitude of Hardik Pandya just was too much to take in. At one time, cricket was called a gentleman's sport. Where has all the class gone? #KoffeeWithKaran

#HardikPandya should've chosen his words better on the #KWK show. Objectifying women is not cool. @hardikpandya7 he may not be scoring runs on the field but definitely a better person is @klrahul11 #

Choosing Virat over Sachin should be the least point of concern here.

The way Hardik Pandya objectified women is something to worry about. What an UNCOMFORTABLE episode it was. NOT COOL AT ALL.
Gotta watch some old RAHUL DRAVID's interview to detox now.#KoffeeWithKaran
The first ever episode of #KoffeeWithKaran where I couldn’t sit through the one-hour show ... #HardikPandya proved he is a 9th standard failure ... no education, no etiquette & no respect towards women ... what a waste of time!!!

Go on objectify women and say , "eh what she says doesn't matter", it's not like we are in the times of #metoo #HardikPandya

Yikes! Today's #KoffeeWithKaran was extremely cringe worthy. Along with developing batting skills & team spirit, someone needs to teach these boys, especially Hardik Pandya, how to interact with women. Women aren't another record or trophy that you try to achieve, Hardik! 🤢

Watching #KoffeeWithKaran @karanjohar As usual Karan is super fun.But from the way #HardikPandya is talking,it seems that women,by the dozens,are only objects of desire.Swag is good,but does this kinda swag befit a man who plays for the NationalTeam #Distasteful @BCCI @imVkohli
