Cricket match prediction discussions

Its a big offense and anyone who is involved must be punished. We saw allegations of same type on Babar Azam few months back, where a woman accused him of marrying her secretly. The woman later withdraw her charges. On same ground Munaf Patel and Hardik Pandya must be given space to give there verdict and if found guilty by court then they must be punished. Based on news we must not jump to conclusion.

These are very serious allegations, and the victim has given all the details of the crime such as date and location at which the incident took place. I don't want to jump in to conclusions, but at the same time as a woman I am sickened by people who are jumping to defend Hardik before the details are even known. Why automatically assume that he's innocent? Let the investigation proceed as per the plan, and with all his money power and political connections, I am sure that Hardik will be able to defend himself if he's not guilty.

Cricketers and other celebrities are regularly accused of such crimes most of the time charges are withdrawn by accusers. I am not defending anyone,  what I wanna say is that the victim must go to court and its only the court who can give her justice. These media houses will use her by flashing her news for few days and then get busy in next breaking news.

Who do you think guys will win the match between new zealand and australia, yes i know no one can predict that I just want to know what you are thinking, as both the teams no one expected then in finals and now that 2015 final comes in time mind where australia beaten newzealand easily. But this time i really feel that newzealand has a great chance of winning this years t20 world cup final.

Huge scandal in Indian cricket.

One lady named Rehnuma Bhati has accused Hardik Pandya of raping her at the Trident hotel.

Pandya is a married man with one child, his wife is an Indian-based Serbian dancer and actress Nataša Stanković. This news will have huge impact not only on his cricketing career but his personal life also. He was very much criticized for his inclusion in Indian T20 WC squad. The only question I have in my mind is why this woman spoke up just after WC, why not when she was assaulted.

Seems like Hardik Pandya's bad days are not over yet. Bad T20 WC, Rape allegations and now this, Indian cricketer Hardik Pandya's luxury watches worth Dh2.4 million seized at Mumbai airport. The watches were worth 5 crore and Pandya has no receipt of these watches. Pandya is perhaps undergoing the toughest phase of his life, lets see how he tackle this situation.

No sympathy for Pandya here. Even if there is no truth in the rape allegations (which I doubt), he doesn't have any excuse in smuggling luxury watches. Pandya purchased the watches in the UAE and brought them to India without paying the import duty at the airport. A poor third world country such as India can't afford to have people like Pandya, who refuse to pay the due taxes. I hope he will get punished for this, although most likely he will be let off with a warning thanks to his political connections. And let's not forget that this is the same guy who suggested the Indian team to take the knee at the world cup. Imagine this, a tax evader advising the team on how to react against racism in the United States and at the same time refusing to pay taxes in India.

@Sithara007 I won’t comment on the rape issue until it’s proved, because most likely it’ll never be proved due to lack of evidence as it’s always seen when a case is filed against a famous person.

Furthermore as for the watches are concerned he gave a statement which said that he declared full customs, but the officers wanted to revalue it and he believes the media is misleading the people, but he didn’t say he’ll sue those outlets for spreading lies which does make me wonder who’s correct and who’s lying.

Justice system in India is designed in a way that it only favors the strong person. Players must focus on there games not on becoming a media celebrity. Players like Pandya are more on media then on play grounds, thanks to Indian media and now when bad news are coming from Pandya same media is cursing him for his wrong deeds.

This is a very casual attitude from such a big player who has played lots of cricket and has traveled a lot. He is in news for rape allegations and he must be very careful with everything rather he opened another case. He must be punished for such casual behavior, which is bringing shame to Indian cricket. The estimated price of his watches are 5 crore INR.

I am not sure whether his statement is satisfactory enough. The market value of these two watches stand at ₹50 million and Pandya is still claiming that he purchased them for ₹15 million. BTW, some time previously Krunal Pandya was detained at the same airport. Krunal went a level higher. He just didn't declared the watches upon arrival. He was caught red handed and forced to pay a penalty. I am from India, and one thing that I can say with surety is that the customs department doesn't issue a notice to anyone unless they have concrete proof.

So both brothers have done same mistake and that too at same airport. One brother must learn from mistake of other brother but they didnt. I was reading that HH Pandya was not able to give proof of purchase of there watches to custom department. ICC must intervene and find out whats going on but I am sure they will surrender once again in front of might BCCI.

The Pandya brothers are always controversial and why do you think that the law will surrender against BCCI, not sure how that works but if they would have the ability to solve them, these news would not be out in the public in the first place. So the idea of giving invisible powers for each and every situation is funny  .

What kind of watch they brought together to be held by the authorities, whatever it may be it looks silly, if it was against the law they should have settled it there rather than giving this a huge publicity.

Boards like BCCI are much more concerned about there repute then rule of law. Already news of rape allegations on pandya are no more to be seen. Moreover there is no inquiry on from where pandya get such expensive watches. In countries like India its easy to bypass law if you have money.

The molestation charges are recent right from one of the woman who has connections with the underworld, that is what i read from the news and now the expensive watches. I do not think the BCCI will intervene in situation like these. When Sachin Tendulkar faced the same issue in the past for getting a car home which was gifted to him, he was asked to pay the prize of the car as tax because the import tax is 100% and the government gave him the concession because it was a gift for his performance and i do not remember BCCI intervene in that situation.

This is also personal problems and if anyone is to pay the tax for the items, BCCI will not intervene and what is the reputation when the news is already public, does not make any sense.

I live in India, and I have to say that what you have posted here is true. If you have money, then anything is possible. If Hardik did this in the United States, then he will be sentenced to a minimum of 6 months in prison. They are very strict about tax evasion. But in India, he can just pay a financial penalty and escape any other form of punishment. The rape allegation is much more serious. Now I just hope that it was just a baseless allegation and the investigators would declare him as not guilty.

I'd you don't punish Pandya today, tomorrow other players will do the same thing. In South Asian countries, you can easily bypass law if you have power.  Only weaker ones are given punishment. That's why these countries lag behind and are still underdeveloped. Rape allegation news on Pandya is gone as media is no more interested in covering that event. What an irony.

@Sithara007 hasn’t the watch issue too disappeared from the media, or should we give him the benefit of the doubt that he did declare the value and the media hyped it up.

Furthermore as far as the rape allegations are concerned BCCI is silent, the police don’t have proof so no one can say he’s guilty till it’s proved he actually is.

Also BCCI is keen to draft Hardik for SA tour if he’s proved fit, not surprising at all and now all he needs to do is prove his fitness and despite his poor form he’ll be welcomed in the squad.

The media will hype the case and once it is resolved they will not apologize for that nor they will update the narrative, it is a common them globally. May be they have declared the value and paid the tax, it is not a criminal issues if they are willing to pay tax and not smuggle things.

Regarding the rape allegation, i know one lady accused several high profile people from politicians to cricket players about raping her, it is possible that it could be a blackmailing strategy as well to settle money outside court.

Still I am not sure whether the allegation is 100% true. If that is the case, he should be given the strictest punishment possible. But the cautious attitude from him in smuggling the luxury watches surprised me. Krunal Pandya (his brother) was booked for the same offense three days before Hardik was caught and yet he had the courage to repeat the offense. BTW, Hardik was not retained by the Mumbai Indians for the next IPL. I guess he may be playing for the Ahmedabad franchise in 2022.

Tim Paine is stepping away from cricket for the time being in order to focus on his mental health after resigning from the Australia Test captaincy following the 'sexting' scandal. The decision was made based on Paine's mental health or because of his embarrassment? Well, I guess this late realization doesn't help anybody.
