Abhinav Mukund’s emotional Message Racism Wins Applause

Written by Shreyas Vyas

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.
