Team India’s test opener Abhinav Mukund posted an emotional message on Twitter, regarding the sensitive Racism.
“I have been travelling a lot within and outside our country since I was 15. Ever since I was young, people’s obsession with my skin colour has always been a mystery to me. Any one who follows cricket would understand the obvious. I have played and trained day in and day out in the sun and not once have I regretted the fact that I have tanned or lost a couple of shades. It is simply because I love what I do and I have been able to achieve certain things only because I have spent hours outdoor. I come from Chennai probably one of the hottest places in our country and I have gladly spent most of my adult life in the cricket ground.”
The left-handed batsman recalled the times he had been discriminated against and made a plea to everyone to be “comfortable in your own skin”. The post received close to 2000 likes by the morning of Thursday and had been retweeted close to 1000 times.
