The college has started a probe into the incident, which took place on Saturday.

'I have seen the talent these players have and there are plenty of superstars in that team'
Indian captain Hardik Pandya admitted that his lack of rhythm and slow approach became a turning point as his team lost momentum.

'The HIL will be bigger and better this time around.'
It is expected that Hardik will return to competitive cricket in the Indian Premier League, where he is set to make his maiden appearance as a full-time captain with the CVC-owned Ahmedabad franchise.

The 10-year agreement amounts to 0.5 per cent of global oil supply and is valued at roughly $13 billion per year at current prices, it said.
Ahead of the start of India's 3-match T20I series against New Zealand, Hardik Pandya and his mates -- Washington Sundar, Umran Malik, Shreyas Iyer, Arshdeep Singh, Shardul Thakur -- were spotted shirtless -- much like what Salman Khan used to do in the late 1990s and early 2000s -- at a lovely beach.
