Adelaide:<\/strong> Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar has described as “unnecessary” the fiery send-off Mohammed Siraj gave to Australian batter Travis Head after the pacer dismissed him for 140 on Day 2 of the second Test at the Adelaide Oval.<\/p>\n

Gavaskar, speaking on Star Sports, expressed his disapproval of Siraj\u2019s actions, emphasising the context of Head’s innings. The legendary batter highlighted that Head had played a magnificent knock, becoming a local hero with his eighth Test century and second against India, and Siraj\u2019s over-the-top celebration was unwarranted.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnnecessary, if you ask me. The man\u2019s got 140, he hasn\u2019t got out for one or two. You don\u2019t give a send-off to someone who\u2019s batted brilliantly and won the crowd over. Instead of becoming a hero for dismissing him, Siraj has become the villain,\u201d said Gavaskar. He suggested that Siraj\u2019s actions cost him an opportunity to win the respect of the local crowd.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf Siraj had simply applauded Head after that dismissal, he would have been a hero for everyone in the stadium. Instead, he got the stick from the crowd, and understandably so.\u201d<\/p>\n

Former Australia opener Matthew Hayden also weighed in, attributing Siraj\u2019s actions to emotions running high in the heat of the contest. While Hayden defended Siraj\u2019s intensity as a bowler, he pointed out the need for grace in such situations.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was probably just a little bit of emotion and passion from Siraj, who bowled his heart out. But when you\u2019re facing a local hero who\u2019s just made 140, you need to show some humility,\u201d Hayden remarked.<\/p>\n

Hayden praised Head\u2019s innings, calling it a masterclass of controlled aggression, and suggested Siraj missed an opportunity to showcase sportsmanship on a big stage.<\/p>\n

Travis Head\u2019s innings was the backbone of Australia\u2019s first innings total of 337. The left-hander smashed 17 fours and four sixes in his 140 off 141 balls, entertaining the Adelaide crowd with a breathtaking display of counterattacking cricket.<\/p>\n

While the focus remained on the Siraj-Head incident, the Indian pacer delivered an impressive performance with figures of 4-98. His fiery spell rattled Australia\u2019s lower order, and he was well-supported by Jasprit Bumrah, who returned figures of 4-61.<\/p>\n
