What's the story

The Indian cricket team management has lodged a complaint after the likes of Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj were said to have been racially abused by the crowd at SCG.

According to a report in Cricbuzz, the abuse occurred on the second and third day of the ongoing Test match at the SCG.

Notably, such incidents have also occurred in the past.

Incident

Rahane, Ashwin speak to the match officials

The report adds that the incident came to light at the end of the third day's play when a bunch of senior players led by captain Ajinkya Rahane and R Ashwin spoke to the two umpires, Paul Reiffel and Paul Wilson.

They brought to their notice that two of their team's players had been subjected to racial abuse.

Cameo by Ravindra Jadeja powered them to 244.
