**Adelaide, Australia:** Day one of the India-Australia Pink Ball Test in Adelaide witnessed a controversial incident involving Indian fast bowler Mohammed Siraj. Siraj, visibly frustrated after Australian batsman Marnus Labuschagne avoided a delivery due to a distraction from a spectator, threw the ball towards Labuschagne.
The incident occurred during the 25th over of Australia’s innings. Labuschagne momentarily lost focus as a spectator walked past the sight screen carrying empty beer cups. Siraj, having already begun his run-up, was forced to stop. His subsequent throw of the ball at Labuschagne, while not making contact, has sparked outrage on social media.
Videos of the incident quickly went viral, with Australian fans criticizing Siraj’s behavior. Even some Indian fans expressed disapproval, questioning the bowler’s actions. The incident overshadows Australia’s dominant first day performance, where they restricted India to 180 runs and ended the day at 88/x. The match continues. Other news includes the grand wedding of Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita Dhulipala, and anticipation for the box office numbers of Allu Arjun’s “Pushpa 2.”
