Dear @darensammy88 if someone used the N word at a black person & said they “operated from a place of love” what would u say? Same with word ‘Kaalu’ & it’s variations. And team members of @SunRisers. Show some decency & spine #SaySorryToDaren officially ! #thatsnotcricket @IPL https://t.co/8nbMpwNh6e

Totally agree Daren! Shows generosity & grace on your part. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 But it’s important that your teammates own up to their action, even if they didn’t mean it- or didn’t realise- they still played a racist exchange. As you say education- realisation & owning up to one’s actions. https://t.co/Tgf8mcFZ9e

Not holding anything against @darensammy88 (obviously)- just that he shouldn’t be gaslit about the fact that he was clearly a victim of a racist exchange. That he has heart is kudos to him. The ‘win for the bigger fight’ would be if @SunRisers apologised to him publicly. https://t.co/fymww73o3r

This is both heartbreaking, shameful and sad! @darensammy88 didn’t know that his teammates in #IPL team @SunRisers were using a (common) Indian racist slur to address him. They all would laugh & no one told him what it meant. Sickening! I’m so sorry for what u went thru Daren. 🙏🏽 https://t.co/psyzdnE1R0
