The intense battle between India and Australia in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy is in full swing. During IND vs AUS 3rd Test at the Gabba, Brisbane, fans seemed angry as Mohammed Siraj bowled the second over. Siraj had a tough time as the crowd at Gabba started booing him. This was because of what happened in the last Test in Adelaide. The Gabba crowd booed Siraj when he started bowling. The same booing happened during the Adelaide Test as well. There, Siraj had a big verbal exchange with Travis Head after getting him out. Siraj had shouted at Head, which made Head furious.
What Happened in Adelaide between Siraj and Head?
During the IND vs AUS 2nd Test in Adelaide, Siraj got Head out and then pointed to the dressing room. Head didn’t like this and said something to Siraj while leaving. The umpires had to come and stop them. Later, both players got fined by the ICC for bad behavior.
After the match, Head said he just said “well bowled” to Siraj as a joke. But Siraj says that’s not true. He told Star Sports, “It was a great battle with Head; he batted well. When you get hit for a six on a good ball, it fires you up differently. But what he said in the press conference wasn’t true.” So, the Brisbane Test started with some drama from the last match still in the air. Everyone’s waiting to see what happens next in this exciting series.
