Coming in at a time when Australia’s top order was under pressure, Head played an aggressive counter-attacking role. He was particularly dominant against the Indian bowlers, putting pressure on them with his confident stroke play. 

However, it was Mohammed Siraj who finally broke through, and dismissed Travis Head. The Australian batter was castled by Siraj after an inside edge found its way to the stumps. As Head walked off the field, Siraj’s emotions boiled over, and there appeared to be a verbal exchange between the two players.

The drama did not end there. Siraj’s celebration, followed by the crowd's reaction, stirred social media and sparked a debate over the pacer’s right to express his emotions after taking a crucial wicket. Fans took to Twitter to defend Siraj, and supported his right to celebrate despite the hostile atmosphere created by the crowd at the Adelaide Oval.

Australia managed to score 332 for 8, with the lead of 157 runs. Siraj and Bumrah have lead India with the ball. At the time of writing, India are at 38 at the loss of one wicket.
