**Adelaide, Australia** – India’s star pacer, Mohammed Siraj, lost his temper during the first day of the pink-ball Test match against Australia in Adelaide. A video circulating on social media shows Siraj throwing the ball aggressively towards the wickets after Australian batsman Marnus Labuschagne unexpectedly moved out of the crease just as Siraj was about to deliver the ball.
The incident occurred during the 25th over of Australia’s innings. Labuschagne’s sudden movement appeared to be a reaction to a spectator near the side screen, who was apparently carrying a large number of cups. Unaware of the distraction, Siraj, already in his delivery stride, reacted angrily, throwing the ball towards the stumps.
Despite the heated moment, play continued without further incident. India, after winning the toss and batting first, scored 180 runs. Australia ended the day at 86/2, still 94 runs behind India’s first innings total. Labuschagne (20) and Nathan McSweeney (38) were unbeaten at the close of play. The match continues.
