Despite an apology to fans and their own teammates, Pandya and Rahul were suspended by the BCCI and ousted from a three-match ODI series against Australia in Sydney.

Dhawan said the team is looking to make history by winning the first ever bilateral ODI series on Australian soil, following up on the 2-1 Test series' win .

Pandya has refused to leave the house or take phone calls, as revealed by his father Himanshu Pandya.

It is learnt that both players deposed via telephone after having tendered unconditional apologies in reply to the fresh show cause notices issued by the BCCI.

The cricketer, along with opener KL Rahul, was earlier suspended pending an inquiry by the BCCI.

Taufel said that Pandya and Rahul have their careers lying ahead and remained hopeful they will come out of the incident as better persons.

Brought back midway from the tour of Australia, Pandya and Rahul's immediate fate hangs in balance with the World Cup less than four months away. 

Sreesanth said that those who had erred worse than Rahul and Pandya had gotten away with it in the past and slammed them for targeting the duo now.

Here is a look at the timeline of events since that fateful 'Koffee with Karan' episode featuring the duo was aired.

During last year's World Cup, Gill had played a 'short arm jab' that seemed straight out of Kohli's batting manual.

This is the first India call-up for 19-year-old batsman Shubman Gill, who has been in brilliant form for Punjab in the ongoing Ranji Trophy.

Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul would be sent back from Australia as soon as possible according to people in the BCCI as they are suspended pending enquiry.

Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul has been suspended from all forms of cricket by the BCCI pending an inquiry for their 'inappropriate' comments on women in the chat show Koffee with Karan.

In an old video featuring Ranveer Singh and Anushka Sharma on Koffee With Karan, the actor is talking about his crush on Kareena Kapoor Khan.

A source in the BCCI has said the two will be issued fresh show cause notices before a formal enquiry begins and the duo will also miss the first ODI against Australia in Sydney.

Hardik Pandya was told that he will be missing the first ODI against Australia in Sydney while KL Rahul was anyway not in contention for a berth in the playing XI.

Diana Edulji had initially suggested a two-match suspension for the duo but referred the matter to the legal cell after COA chief Vinod Rai agreed with her and recommended the same.

The deeply vulgar portrayal of women that Pandya indulged in, egged on by Karan Johar, who shamelessly giggled, has shaken our senses.

Kohli has distanced the team from the controversy by saying that the side does not stand by the duo on the issue.

The cricketer's sexist remarks gave rise to a wide range of the public lambasting Pandya and KL Rahul for their offensive comments.
