The controversy surrounding Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul over the former's sexist remarks on popular chat show Koffee With Koffee is currently the talk of the nation.

The meme industry has also been trolling the two cricketers circulating hilarious posts on the Internet.

And, now Mumbai Police has joined the bandwagon and recently tweeted a post explaining the meaning of a 'gentleman'.

Here's more.

Remarks


In the episode, when asked about his personal life, Pandya explained how his parents were 'cool' and open about discussing his sex life.

Speaking about the day he lost his virginity, Pandya told his parents, "Aaj Mai Karke Aaya (I did it today)."

Also, about women, Pandya said he liked to see them 'move' and credited his love for 'black culture' for this.

Needless to say, Pandya was heavily criticized for his misogynistic attitude by netizens.

Mumbai Police, who have a knack of giving wisdom through their amusing tweets, also took a jibe at the cricketers.

They tweeted a picture which asked, "How to become a great player?" and added that off the field, a great player should have "maximum respect for women".

Reactions


As expected, netizens were left impressed by the Mumbai Police's words of wisdom.

Many lauded their message with comments such as, "Very effective message", "100% right" and, "Very true".

Others didn't miss the opportunity to slam the players here as well, as one wrote, "Unfortunately, the 'infamous' duo took the word 'Player' seriously."

Another wrote, "Alas! Money can't buy class."

Consequences


Meanwhile, after the incident, Pandya and Rahul have been suspended pending inquiry and were called back from the ongoing ODI series against Australia.

They were replaced by Vijay Shankar.
