Dubai: In support of Black Lives Matter movement, the Indian players took a knee, moments before their high-octane T20 World Cup 2021 Super 12 clash against Pakistan here on Sunday.
KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma took the knee, while the remaining team members did the same outside the boundary line. The Pakistani side did not take to the knees, instead kept their hands on their chest.
However, some social media users trolled Indians players for not showing solidarity with dalits, tribals and muslims being brazenly targeted at home.
