<p>&ldquo;The issue of colour discrimination is not new in cricket. I too faced it in life, in my own country,&rdquo; says former India leg-spinner Laxman Sivaramakrishnan.</p>
<p>Sivaramakrishnan, who has played nine Tests and 16 ODIs for India, was reacting to a Twitter post on Saturday that hinted at online trolling faced by commentators.</p>
<p>&ldquo;I have been criticised and colour discriminated all my life, so it doesn&rsquo;t bother me anymore. This, unfortunately, happens in our own country,&rdquo; he tweeted. &ldquo;For all the criticism they get about their comm [comments], people like @Laxmansivarama1 sound so good when they r talking about spinners. The little nuances, finer aspects and technicalities of spin they talk r excellent points for any young spinner or coaches to listen,&rdquo; a Twitter user tagged Sivaramakrishnan in the post.</p>
