Former West Indies captain Darren Sammy expressed anger upon realising the meaning of the word 'kaalu' which he says was used to refer to him and Sri Lanka's Thisara Perera when the pair played for Indian Premier League (IPL) side Sunrisers Hyderabad.

"Oh, so that's what that meant when they called me and Thisara Perera Kalu in India when we played for Sunrisers. I just thought they were calling me strong black man… I'm more piss now (sic.)," Sammy wrote in an Instagram story.
