Virat Kohli condemned the alleged racist abuse of India’s Mohammed Siraj by Australia fans in Sydney.
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.
— Virat Kohli (@imVkohli) January 10, 2021
The incident needs to be looked at with absolute urgency and seriousness and strict action against the offenders should set things straight for once.
