"We spotted a highly objectionable & disturbing tweet directing racist abuse towards our player in a reply to one of our tweets yesterday. We reported & blocked the individual immediately. Diversity is integral to Rajasthan Royals. Racism will NOT be tolerated," Rajasthan Royals tweeted.

Recently, ex-Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) player Daren Sammy had opened up about racial abuse. Sammy said when he played for the franchise his teammates, who were very close to him, used to call him 'K**U' and when he found out its meaning, it hurt him deeply.

Going by Sammy's recent tweets, he had a chat with his friends and everything is fine between them now. He did forgive him for the comment after assuring the word came from a place of love, but Sammy wants to make sure everyone gets educated on the matter.
