India Coach's Response As Sunil Gavaskar Blasts Mohammed Siraj Over Travis Head Send-Off

The Indian cricket team finds itself on the backfoot in the ongoing pink-ball Test against Australia in Adelaide. The first two days' play has put Australia in the driving seat, with India on the cusp of a series-levelling defeat. While India's batting and bowling performance left plenty to be desired, the duel between Mohammed Siraj and Travis Head became on of the biggest talking points. While Siraj has courted criticism for his behaviour on the pitch, India's bowling coach Morne Morkel has played down the controversy.

Pat Cummins Breaks Silence On Travis Head-Mohammed Siraj Row, Gives Massive 'Big Boy' Verdict

Pat Cummins felt his intervention was not required in the Travis Head-Mohammed Siraj send-off row since the Australia vice captain is a "big boy" who can talk for himself as the skipper hailed his team's behaviour in the ongoing series against India. Head smashed a match-winning 140 from 141 balls in the pink ball Test as Australia bounced back from the humiliating defeat at Perth to win by 10 wickets and level the five-match series one-all. After Head was cleaned up by Siraj, the two were seen exchanging words as the batter later suggested he had only said "well bowled". Following Head's claim that Siraj's send-off was uncalled for, and that he had only praised the India pacer's delivery after being bowled, Siraj swiftly denied the accusation, calling it a "lie".
