India skipper Virat Kohli who is currently on paternity leave has also reacted to the incident revealing that even he has gone through racial abuse on several occasions while fielding at the boundary.Racial abuse is absolutely unacceptable. Having gone through many incidents of really pathetic things said on the boundary Iines, this is the absolute peak of rowdy behaviour. It's sad to see this happen on the field.
