\"DarrenFormer West Indian captain Darren Sammy<\/a><\/strong> has been livid on social media after finding out that the pet name \u2018kaluu<\/em>\u2019 given to him during his time in the Indian Premier League<\/strong> (IPL) was a racial slur. <\/p>\n

The Hindi word \u2018kaluu<\/em>\u2019 means \u2018black<\/em>\u2019 but Sammy was led to believe that the word meant strong stallion and he proudly accepted it and allowed his team mates at the Sunrisers Hyderabad<\/a> franchise to refer to him as kaluu. <\/p>\n

Sammy played for the Sunrisers during 2013 and 2014 and there is an Instagram post during this period when fellow team mate Ishant Sharma<\/strong> has used the word kaluu to refer to Sammy in the post.<\/p>\n
