"I Could Lip-Read": Matthew Hayden's Verdict On Mohammed Siraj-Travis Head Row

Two versions of the same episode, as India's Mohammed Siraj passionately stood his stance on the altercation he had with Australia's Travis Head on Day 2 of the Adelaide Test. Head claimed that he said 'well bowled' to Siraj after being bowled but the India pacer suggested that no such comment was made from the Australian. Matthew Hayden, one of the greatest Australian batters to play the game, has now shared his opinion on the matter, saying he was able to do lip-reading during the Siraj vs Head altercation.

Showing no signs of rust, Mohammed Shami carried Bengal to the quarterfinals of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy by smashing a game-changing 17-ball-32 and bowling 13 dot balls in his four overs that paved way for his team's thrilling three-run win against Chandigarh on Monday. With no clarity over his international comeback, the 34-year-old played his eighth SMAT T20 game in 16 days and has bowled his full quota in almost all the games.

"Lamb To The Slaughterhouse...": Rohit Sharma Receives Brutal 'Confidence' Warning

Former pacer Dodda Ganesh has strongly cautioned the Indian team management against the idea of captain Rohit Sharma opening the batting in the crucial third Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series at the Gabba, labelling it a risky proposition given Rohit's current form and the challenging conditions in Brisbane. Ganesh's warning comes amid growing debate over India's batting order following their struggles in the first two Tests of the series. India were bowled out for 150 in their first innings of the opening Test at Perth and then for 180 in Adelaide. Though they recovered to win the Perth Test by 295 runs thanks to centuries by Yashasvi Jaiswal and Virat Kohli, there were not such heroics in Adelaide and the visitors slumped to an embarrassing 10-wicket defeat within three days.

Kapil Dev Feels "It's Too Early" To Talk About Jasprit Bumrah's Potential Succession As Captain

Former cricketer Kapil Dev believes it is too early to judge if Jasprit Bumrah is the "best available candidate" to replace Rohit Sharma as the captain when the time comes. The Indian team stepped into Perth's Optus Stadium with an air of swagger around them. Bumrah captained the visitors in Rohit's absence, who was unavailable due to personal reasons. By imposing relentless pressure on Australia, India stood victorious with a record-shattering 295-run triumph over the hosts to go 1-0 up in the series.

Asked About Mohammed Siraj's 'Liar' Accusation On Travis Head, Pat Cummins's Strong Response

Following the win against India at home in Adelaide Oval on Sunday, Australia skipper Pat Cummins shared his thoughts on the verbal spat between left-hand batter Travis Head and Mohammed Siraj during the day-night (pink-ball) Test match. Adding an element of drama and emotion to the hotly-contested Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Siraj aggressively sent off Head after cleaning him up following a counter-attacking century that severely depleted Indian bowlers and the team's chances of winning. As Siraj aggressively gestured to the Aussie suggesting it was time for him to take a walk back to the pavillion, Head also returned back the favour with some words. Siraj was heavily booed by the Australian crowd following Head's dismissal.

"He's A Mumbai Batter...": Ex-India Star Backs Rohit Sharma Amid Poor Show

Jatin Paranjape, a former Indian cricketer and national selector, believes despite Rohit Sharma being far from his best in the 10-wicket loss to Australia in Adelaide, he is still confident of the Indian skipper performing better in the remaining three matches of the series. In his return to the number six position in Test cricket after a six-year absence, Rohit could only muster nine runs at Adelaide Oval over the two innings. A continued poor run in Adelaide means Rohit's average in his last six Tests is only 11.83.

Mohammed Siraj Handed Major Punishment By ICC Over Send-Off Row, Travis Head Escapes With...

Indian pacer Mohammed Siraj was fined 20 per cent of his match fee, while Australian batter Travis Head was also "sanctioned" by the ICC for indulging in a heated exchange of words during the just-concluded day-night Test in Adelaide. Siraj and Head were held guilty of breaching the world body's code of conduct following a disciplinary hearing on Monday. "Siraj has been penalised 20 per cent of his match fee after being found guilty of breaching article 2.5 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel," the ICC said in a statement.

All Is Not Well Between Rohit Sharma And Mohammed Shami? Report Makes Explosive 'Heated Debate' Claim

India's pace-bowling unit seems to be in a state of bother after the likes of Harshit Rana and Mohammed Siraj failed to effectively company Jasprit Bumrah. India only managed to take 10 wickets in the match as Australia secured a 10-wicket win to level the series 1-1. The defeat in the pink-ball Test quickly prompted calls for the fit-again Mohammed Shami to be flown to Australia for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. When India captain Rohit Sharma was asked about Shami's availability, he remained coy.
