Hardik Pandya's mentor Kiran More was a relieved man after the BCCI provisionally lifted the suspension on the India all-rounder and his teammate KL Rahul yesterday. On January 11, the Committee of Administrators (CoA) had suspended the cricketing duo for inappropriate comments on the TV show, Koffee with Karan.

With the CoA divided over the quantum of punishment, the issue reached Supreme Court on January 17 where there was an appeal to appoint an Ombudsman. However, the apex court paid no heed to the appeal.
