The Indian team lodged an official complaint after play on Saturday after bowlers Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj complained of hearing racist slurs while fielding near the boundary rope. CA launched a parallel investigation with New South Wales Police, promising to take the "strongest measures" against anyone found guilty of vilification. "As hosts, we once again apologise to the Indian team." Kohli, who returned home after playing in the first Test to attend the birth of his first child, said racial abuse was completely unacceptable. The International Cricket Council said the Indian team had informed match referee David Boon of the alleged racial abuse on Saturday and the governing body was "incredibly disappointed" with the incidents at the SCG.
