Both the cricket players have been vocal ever since an African-American man George Floyd was killed in the USA, giving rise to the #BlackLivesMatter campaign. But Sammy shook the cricketing world when he revealed of being called by a derogatory name while playing in the IPL for Sunrisers Hyderabad.

First, the former all-rounder represented SRH in 2013 and 14 seasons of IPL, posted an Instagram story alleging the racial remarks and on Monday he released a video in which he wished to confront the ones who were behind the remarks.

Sammy in his video said, “I have played all over the world and I have been loved by many people, I have embraced all dressing rooms where I have played, so I was listening to Hasan Minhaj as to how some of the people in his culture describe black people.”
