Pakistani cricket captain Sarfaraz Ahmad was caught hurling a racist slur at South African cricketer Andile Phehluwayo during the second one day International (ODI) in Durban, South Africa on Tuesday (22 January), reports Deccan Herald.

Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
