The second Test between India and Australia was marred by a fiery on-field confrontation between Indian pacer Mohammed Siraj and Australian batter Travis Head. The intense rivalry between the two teams spilled over as the players exchanged heated words and gestures.
The International Cricket Council (ICC) has taken stern action, fining both players. Siraj was cited for Level 1 offense of using language that disparaged Head, while Head was also found guilty of a similar offence.
The incident, which occurred on the fourth day of the Test, quickly escalated from a verbal spat to a full-blown confrontation. The umpires had to intervene to separate the two players and restore order on the field.
This high-voltage clash has ignited a debate among cricket fans and experts. While some have condemned the behaviour of both players, others have defended their actions, citing the intense nature of Test cricket.
