**Adelaide, Australia** – Australian batsman Travis Head and Indian fast bowler Mohammed Siraj have downplayed a heated on-field incident that occurred during the second Test match in Adelaide. The incident, which involved a fiery send-off from Head following Siraj’s dismissal on Saturday, sparked controversy.
Head clarified the situation on Sunday, stating that his initial reaction to Siraj’s celebration was a joking “well bowled,” before the Indian bowler responded with a gesture. Head admitted his own reaction was perhaps excessive given the context of the game.
Siraj, however, offered a contrasting account, claiming Head had verbally abused him and that the Australian’s press conference account was inaccurate.
The exchange occurred amidst a dominant Australian victory. India, resuming their second innings at 128/5, were bowled out for 175, with Pat Cummins taking 5/57. Australia then comfortably chased down a 19-run target to win by 10 wickets, levelling the series 1-1. This victory follows India’s commanding win in the first Test in Perth. The series now continues.
