In an exciting second Test match at Adelaide Oval, Indian bowler Mohammed Siraj and Australian player Travis Head showed great sportsmanship despite some heated moments.
On Day 2 of the match, Siraj dismissed Head for a solid score of 140 runs, and their exchange became quite intense. After Head was out, Siraj celebrated and gave him a little send-off, leading to a fiery moment between them. Head later said he complimented Siraj by saying “well bowled,” but Siraj disagreed, claiming that Head didn’t say anything nice at all. They even had a friendly chat when Siraj went in to bat later, but it wasn’t as dramatic.
After the match ended, which Australia won by 10 wickets, the rivalry seemed to cool down as Siraj and Head hugged it out. Australia celebrated their victory with Pat Cummins taking five wickets and ending India’s innings at just 175 runs. The Australian openers made quick work of chasing down the 19-run target in just over 3 overs.
Before Day 3 began, Siraj spoke about the situation and denied Head’s claim of saying “well bowled.” He expressed that while he enjoyed bowling against Head, he felt annoyed after being hit for a six earlier in the match. Siraj insisted, “It’s a lie that he said ‘well bowled’ to me.”
