India faced a tough defeat against Australia, losing by 10 wickets in the second Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy held in Adelaide. It was a day-night match with a pink ball, and Australia showed their strength. Travis Head was named Player of the Match for his fantastic century. He scored 140 runs off just 141 balls, hitting 17 fours and 4 sixes.
India struggled in their first innings, scoring only 180 runs. After that, Australia scored 337 runs, with Marnus Labuschagne contributing 64 runs. During the match, Siraj bowled a great yorker to get Travis Head out, but instead of celebrating nicely, Siraj tried to show off, which led to an argument between him and Head. Head said something back to Siraj, and they had a heated moment.
As Head walked off the field after his innings, the crowd cheered for him while booing Siraj. Cricket legend Kris Srikkanth criticized Siraj for his reaction, saying he should give credit to Head for his brilliant performance instead of trying to celebrate his wicket. “Siraj acted like he got Head out for just 10 runs when he actually scored 140. It’s madness!” Srikkanth added.
In their second innings, India struggled again and got bowled out for 175, setting Australia a tiny target of just 19 runs. Australia chased it down easily, ending at 19 runs without losing a wicket. Both players were seen arguing but later claimed it was just a misunderstanding.
