Siraj Fined 20 Percent Of Match Fee For Aggressive Send-off To Head In Adelaide
The International Cricket Council: Indian fast-bowler Mohammed Siraj has been fined 20 percent of his match fee for giving an aggressive send-off to Australia batter Travis Head during the second Test of the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy at the Adelaide Oval.
On the fourth ball of the 82nd over on Day Two in the pink-ball Test, Siraj castled Head with a terrific in-swinging yorker, and the pacer gave the batter a fiery send-off by aggressively gesturing to walk back towards the direction of the dressing room. A brief verbal exchange followed between the two, but the pair reconciled on the field when Siraj came out to bat during India’s second innings, following which Australia won by ten wickets.
Despite that, the Adelaide crowd made constant boos whenever Siraj was fielding in the deep or came on to bowl, to express their displeasure over how he behaved with Head, who was the Player of the Match for his brilliant 140.
