India captain Virat Kohli on Sunday condemned the reported racism abuse with Indian players during the ongoing third Test match between Australia and India at the Sydney Cricket Ground. Kohli said racial abuse is "absolutely unacceptable" and needs to be looked at with "absolute urgency".
Kohli took to Twitter and wrote," Racial abuse is absolutely unacceptable. Having gone through many incidents of really pathetic things said on the boundary Iines, this is the absolute peak of rowdy behaviour. It's sad to see this happen on the field." In another Tweet he wrote,"he incident needs to be looked at with absolute urgency and seriousness and strict action against the offenders should set things straight for once."
In the shameful incident, there were some words spoken for Siraj who was fielding near the boundary rope. Both the umpires then had a word with each other and the police then asked a group of men to leave the stand. The International Cricket Council (ICC) also "strongly condemned" reported incidents of racism and have offered Cricket Australia all necessary support in investigating the incidents.
