Travis Head's Century and Siraj's Send-Off Stir Drama in IND vs AUS Test

Sunil Gavaskar criticized Mohammed Siraj for his aggressive send-off to Travis Head after dismissing him for 140 during the second Test at Adelaide Oval, calling it unnecessary given Head's impressive innings. Gavaskar suggested Siraj missed an opportunity to earn the crowd's respect by not showing sportsmanship. Matthew Hayden also commented, attributing Siraj's actions to high emotions but emphasized the need for humility. Despite the incident, Siraj had a strong performance with figures of 4-98, contributing to India's bowling efforts alongside Jasprit Bumrah.
