India speedster Mohammed Siraj once again showed his aggression during the ongoing second Test match against Australia. The speedster was seen fuming at Australia star Travis Head after picking his wicket in the pink ball Test in Adelaide.
Head was playing on 140 runs and ripping Indian bowlers apart with his destructive batting before Siraj picked his wicket. The speedster bowled a yorker to remove Australian star Head and both were seen having a heated exchange.
The umpires had a word with Siraj, probably asking him to calm down for his celebration after Head's wicket.
Before picking Head's wicket, the Australian batter had hit Siraj for a four and a six in his first over with the new ball. After dismissing Head, Siraj was booed by the Australian crowd whenever he started his run up or the ball went to him while fielding.
Travis Head scored 140 runs in 141 balls including 17 boundaries and four maximums. This was his third century in Day/Night Tests and third in Adelaide as well.
Earlier, Siraj was seen angry on Marnus Marnus Labuschagne in the same Test match on day 1. Siraj threw the ball at Marnus Labuschagne in frustration even as the Aussie batter pulled away following a disruption near the sight screen. This happened during the 25th over of the ongoing Australian inning when Siraj was bowling to Labuschagne and a spectator carrying a long beer snake walked past the sight screen as Siraj completed half of his run-up. The Australia batter withdrew from his stance. Siraj reacted to the distraction by throwing the ball at the stumps. The ball missed the stumps and the batter as well.
Coming back to the match, while writing this copy Australia are leading by 154 runs. Scott Boland and Nathan Lyon are bowling at this point in time. India's Jasprit Bumrah picked up four wickets and Mohammed Siraj got three.
