Travis Head and Mohammed Siraj Clash in 2nd Test

The second Test match between India and Australia at the Adelaide Oval has been marked by a significant incident involving Travis Head and Mohammed Siraj. On the second day of the match, Siraj bowled a fiery yorker that dismissed Head after a stellar 140-run innings. However, the dismissal was followed by a heated exchange between the two players.

Head, who had been in exceptional form, scoring 140 runs off 141 balls, was visibly upset by Siraj's aggressive send-off. After being bowled, Head acknowledged Siraj's skill by saying `Well bowled,` but felt that Siraj's subsequent actions were unwarranted. Siraj pointed Head towards the pavilion, which led to a reaction from the Australian batsman.

`I said, ‘Well bowled,’ but he thought otherwise when he pointed me to the sheds. Slightly disappointed with the way that transpired,` Head stated in a post-day interview. Despite the tension, Head praised his own performance, noting that his batting has been going well over the last few weeks.

The incident drew a mixed reaction from the crowd, with the Australian sections booing Siraj while the Indian supporters applauded him. Indian captain Rohit Sharma and other teammates intervened to calm Siraj down.

In terms of the match, Australia has taken a significant lead, with India trailing by 29 runs and five wickets remaining in their second innings. The Indian top-order struggled against the Australian pace attack, with key wickets falling to Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins.
