The abuse had been directed towards the likes of Mohammad Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>On Sunday as well, Siraj raised concerns on the fourth day when play was stopped for a brief in the second session while as the umpires and security officials combined to take action, and removed at least six members of the crowd at the SCG.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>VVS Laxman also slammed crowd racism and tweeted: &quot;Very unfortunate to see what&#39;s happening at SCG. There is no place for this rubbish. Never understood the need to yell abuse at players on a sporting field.
