Gambhir condemned the reported incidents of racial taunts made against Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj by a section of the crowd at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) at the end of the third day's play.
Incidents of racist taunts being hurled at cricketers "happen a lot, especially in places like Australia and South Africa", and that is not acceptable, said former India captain Gautam Gambhir, referring to the recent incidents of racist comments targeted at Indian players during the third Test in Sydney.
"You do get abused, in places like South Africa, Australia, when you are playing in a Boxing Day Test match and that kind of stuff as well. But then, you got to accept that, but it depends what kind of abuse that is and what all has been said to you. That is something which is not acceptable, especially on your colour of skin and the abuse as well. It does happen a lot, especially in places like Australia and South Africa. So, these things need to be stopped," he said.
