Ind vs Eng: In an unexpected episode months after English sports spectators were criticized globally for hurling racial abuses against minority footballers of the British team, bottle corks were thrown at Team India batter KL Rahul in Lord's Cricket ground in London on Saturday. The incident reportedly took place during the first session of Day 3 of the second Test match against England at Lord's in London. KL Rahul was standing at third man boundary when the bottle corks were thrown at him from a section of the crowd watching the match in the capacity of stadium spectators.
