Siraj Fined for Heated Exchange with Head
The IND vs AUS 2nd Test in Adelaide saw emotions running high as Mohammed Siraj and Travis Head clashed on the field. Siraj, after dismissing Head for an impressive 140, gave the batter an intense send-off. Not one to hold back, Head responded with sharp words at his home ground, escalating the tension.

ICC Code of Conduct Breaches
Siraj’s actions led to a penalty of 20% of his match fee for violating Article 2.5 of the ICC Code of Conduct. This article pertains to using language or gestures likely to provoke a batter. Head, on the other hand, was found guilty under Article 2.13 for abusive conduct. While Siraj faced a monetary fine, both players were given one demerit point each for their first offence in two years. Match referee Ranjan Madugalle ensured fair enforcement, and both players accepted their sanctions.

 


 

Calming the Storm
The incident sparked debates among fans and media. Did Siraj overreact, or was he just passionate? Head claimed he complimented Siraj with a “well bowled,” which Siraj denied. Despite the drama, cooler heads prevailed. By the second innings, the duo appeared to have moved past the spat. Siraj, while batting, was seen chatting calmly with Head, stationed at short leg. Post-match, a friendly hug between the two put all doubts to rest.

With the Brisbane Test ahead, Siraj and Head seem ready to leave the tension behind and focus on their game. The IND vs AUS series, however, remains as intense as ever!
