On Day 2 of Australia’s second Test match against India in Adelaide, Mohammed Siraj and Travis Head got into a furious verbal altercation. Before failing to timing Mohammed Siraj’s yorker, which smashed the stumps, the Australia international had a brilliant batting display, scoring 140 runs from 141 deliveries. After being fired, the Hyderabad native was ecstatic and gave Head a heartfelt farewell.
In retaliation, the 30-year-old allegedly mistreated Siraj before leaving for the dressing room. Head subsequently stated that he told the Indian pacer, “well bowled,” but Siraj was ecstatic in his celebration. On Sunday morning, the situation became more heated when the pacer accused Head of lying and alleged that Head never said “well bowled,” instead abusing him, which caused him to celebrate in this way.
However, Rohit Sharma, the captain of India, is unwilling to draw a conclusion. “I don’t know what words were exchanged, but I understand that it is part of the game and can happen in high-pressure situations,” the 37-year-old said following a 10-wicket loss in Adelaide.
During the news conference, Rohit stated, “I don’t know what words were exchanged, it’s part of the game.”
Net sessions are extremely confidential: Rohit Sharma
During one of the net sessions prior to the second Test in Adelaide, Indian players were subjected to insults, body-shaming, and trolling. As a result, the team management decided to forbid spectators from attending their training sessions. This policy will go into force starting with the third Test in Brisbane’s Gabba stadium. Prior to the first Test in Perth, India also conducted private training. Speaking on the subject, skipper Rohit stated that the team management does not want the information to be made public and that net sessions are private.
“We don’t want people to hear what’s said in those; net sessions are very private,” Rohit stated.
