IND vs AUS 2nd Test: The Men in Blue were on the verge of a huge loss during the second Test match in Adelaide. After losing the series opener, the hosts bounced back brilliantly and were inching closer to winning the 2nd Test match.
The Pat Cummins-led side skittled India out for a below-par target of 180 runs during the first innings and then went on to score 337 runs and got the lead of 157 runs. Although Australia did put up their brilliant batting prowess on the back of a match-winning hundred by Travis Head and that had put the visitors on the back foot.
Tension between Siraj and Head started with the fiery send-off by the bowler
Australia's star batter scored a match-winning knock of 140 runs off 141 balls and took the Indian bowlers to the cleaners. He had smashed 17 fours and four sixes in his innings. Mohammed Siraj eventually took his wicket and was all riled up and thus sent him a fiery sendoff.

A lot of conversation happened regarding this incident. Although Siraj reckoned that he was abused by Travis Head Head revealed that he just lauded Siraj for bowling brilliantly. The tension was quite visible between these two players and it became visible as Head once again tried to provoke Siraj after he came into bat.

Mohammed Sirajs scored seven runs off eight balls during the third innings. In his time in the middle, Travis Head was seen standing at the forward short leg and was seen continuously provoking the pacer. Both these players were once again involved in an on-field spat. But then Travis Head took Siraj's catch and thus ended his knock in Scott Boland's over. He was seen celebrating the dismissal by fisting the punch in the air.
