This incident comes as a follow-up from the third Test of the previous controversy. This time, it's not the players but the hostile Aussies fans. Indian players Mohammed Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah were subjected to racial slurs from the Australian audience at the SCG on the third and fourth day of the game.
The Indian cricketers were called monkeys, wankers, and other abusive slang by the audience in the stands. As the match paused for a few seconds, India's stand-in captain, Ajinkya Rahane, spoke up for his players and with the authorities. The Indian team filed an official complaint with the ICC. Also, the Australian players backed their Indian counterparts, with skipper Tim Paine even attending the visiting team huddle following Siraj's concerns on the fourth day of the draw.
