RACISM: Racial abuse once again reared its ugly head at the SCG when the Indian team management lodged an official complaint. According to team sources, it involves pacers Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammad Siraj, who pointed out that they were “racially abused” by a section of the crowd. (Photo | AP)
It is learnt that some of the spectators hurled abusive words at Siraj and Bumrah while they were stationed near the boundary ropes. Initially, not much of attention was given but as the day progressed the cuss words apparently took a racial turn. Photo | AP)
