Australian Test legend Shane Warne has been caught up in a racism storm after referring to Indian batsman Cheteshwar Pujara as "Steve" during the first Test in Adelaide.
The Indian stalwart was given the nickname when he played county cricket for Yorkshire in England, and it was also raised by Warne and others during India's last tour of Australia in 2018/19.
Warne referred to Pujara as "Steve" on the Fox Cricket broadcast numerous times during India's first innings on Thursday.
Pujara has spoken about the nickname before and revealed it was given to him by English teammates because his name was hard to pronounce.
