“I have travelled the globe and experience racial remarks towards me because I am black, believe me, the list goes on,” Gayle wrote in his Instagram story.

“Racism is not only in football, it’s in cricket too. Even within teams as a black man, I get the end of the stick. Black and powerful. Black and proud,” he added.

Apart from Gayle, a number of other sportspersons voiced against the issue of racism and acted in solidarity with the protests ensuing in the US.
