WATCH: Mohammed Shami heckled by fans with 'jai shree ram' chants on day 1 of Ahmedabad Test

Sports are always considered free from all kinds of differences, be it religion-based, color-based, or any other kind. But this notion was seen disturbed somehow when the senior Indian pacer Mohammed Shami was heckled by a section of the fans with the chants of ‘Jai Shri Ram’. The video of this incident is now making rounds on social media just within minutes of being shared by a Twitter user.

The incident happened on the first day of the ongoing Ahmedabad Test after Shami dismissed Marnus Labuschagne and Peter Handscomb in the first and second sessions respectively. Notably, Shami was heckled by the very guy who recorded the video of this incident.
