The second Test between India and Australia at the Adelaide Oval turned out to be a disappointing game for the visitors as Kangaroos hammered them by 10 wickets. It was Travis Head who was the star of the show with the bat, scoring a century infront of his home crowd and once again dismantling India's bowling attack.

The South Australian batter also had a heated battle with Mohammed Siraj during Australia's first innings. The incident took place after Siraj cleaned up Travis Head after a brilliant knock of 140 in the 82nd over and it brought Indian bowler's emotions out which did not go well with the Aussie. Siraj said something to Travis Head and the Australian retaliated to which Siraj came out with a gesture which became a taking point and grabbed lot of attention.

India Humiliated In Pink-Ball Test

Both the batters explained their side of the story on Day 3, but it seems that all has ended well as the two hugged each other after the match ended. They also had conversation when Siraj batted in India's second innings, and it would be interesting to see how the rivalry unfolds in the upcoming Test matches.

Talking about the match, Indian batters failed in both the innings. They scored just 180 in the first innings with Starc picking six wickets and then led by Travis Head's century, Australia posted 337. The lead was enough to put India under pressure and they could again muster just 175 runs to leave Australia with the target of just 19. Pat Cummins, the Aussie skipper picked up a five-wicket haul in the second innings and then the openers completed the formality, making it the shortest Test match between India and Australia in terms of balls bowled.
