The fifth Test between England and India has been under racism row as a section of Indian cricket fans were racially abused towards the final moments of the fourth day of the fifth Test between India and England at Edgbaston.

A number of allegations were made on Twitter on Monday evening after the end of the play. 

An investigation has been launched into allegations of racist abuse aimed at Indian fans during the fourth day of the fifth Test at Edgbaston, the ECB and Warwickshire County Cricket Club said.

Several Indian fans took to Twitter to report the racist behaviour they endured during the fourth day’s play on Monday night. They claimed that some British fans hurled racial taunts at them.
Bharat Army (fan club of the Indian cricket team) released a statement about the incident that said, “Sad to say many of our members experienced racist abuse from a very small minority of individuals. We will work with @Edgbaston to share all your feedback. Thank you to those England fans who stood by us.
