As authorities launch an investigation into allegations of racial abuse of the Indian cricket team during the third test at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG), many Indians say racism is all too familiar to them in Australia.

The Indian team lodged an official complaint after play on Saturday after bowlers Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj complained of hearing racist slurs while fielding near the boundary rope.

On Sunday, Siraj approached the umpire pointing towards the stands and the action was paused as police ejected six fans from the ground.
