“I’ll never be able to fill MS’ shoes, so I don’t even think that way. I’m quite excited about the challenge, to be honest. Whatever I do, it will be always for the team you know. It will be one step at the ladder and slowly-slowly that Cup will be there!” Pandya said.
2019 did not go well for the star all-rounder. He had faced a lot of criticism for his sexist comments on the show “Koffee with Karan”. KL Rahul accompanied him there and they both had faced show-cause notices by the BCCI as well.

Moreover, they also have been fined 20 lakhs each.

Along with this, they couldn’t play in the Australia tour after the incident. However, both Pandya and KL Rahul apologised and accepted the punishment without any further question.
“We as cricketers did not know what was going to happen. The ball was not in my court, it was in some else’s court where they had to take the shot and that’s a very vulnerable place you don’t want to be,” Pandya said about that incident.
