Mohammed Siraj and Travis Head were seen having a chat on day three of the second Test between Team India and Australia at the Adelaide Oval. In a video shared by 7cricket, the duo were supposedly clarifying their stance after their verbal spat on day two in Adelaide that sparked widespread discussions.
The incident occurred in the 81st over of the innings as Head had carted the right-arm speedster for a four and a six. However, Siraj came back to rearrange Head’s stumps, causing him to be fired up. With Head uttering some words, a furious Siraj gestured him to return to the sheds. After the day’s play, the South Australian revealed that all he told Siraj was ‘well bowled’.
Later, Siraj, speaking to Star Sports, accused Head of lying in the presser and said they don’t mean disrespect to any cricketer as he knows it’s a gentleman’s game. Meanwhile, the moment on day three occurred when Siraj came out to bat and Head was fielding at short leg.

Australia level series with a commanding ten-wicket win:
Meanwhile, the hosts have bounced back in style after a 295-run drubbing in Perth to level the five-Test series at the Adelaide Oval. Team India came into day three at 129-5, trailing by 29 runs. However, Australia needed only less than a session to take the remaining five wickets as India could only lead by 19 runs.
In response, Nathan McSweeney and Usman Khawaja required only a little more than three overs to chase down the total.
