Hold onto your hats, cricket fans! A former Indian cricketer has lifted the lid on the ugly side of the game, revealing he faced racism from teammates during his career. He shared a chilling anecdote about being called 'dark chocolate cake for a dark boy', a comment that’s as cringeworthy as it is shocking.

This isn't just a case of banter gone wrong; it highlights a systemic issue that’s plagued cricket for years. While the sport has made strides towards inclusivity, stories like this remind us there’s still a long way to go. It's time for all players to stand up and call out this filth, ensuring that every player feels valued and respected on and off the field.

As this former player bravely speaks out, we can only hope this sparks a wider conversation on racism in cricket. Will we see real change, or will this just be another story that fades into the background?
