IND Vs AUS, 2nd Test: Rohit Sharma Doesn't Want To Read Too Much Into Siraj-Head Incident

While Head claimed that he simply congratulated Siraj by saying "Well bowled," Siraj countered by alleging that the Australian player was not being truthful.

"There is a thin line between being aggressive and being overly aggressive. As captain, it is my responsibility to ensure that no one crosses that line. However, some words can be exchanged during the game. Siraj knows what is needed for the team, and he will do everything required," Rohit Sharma defended his teammate.

When questioned further by the Australian media, Rohit commented, "When India and Australia play, incidents like this happen. My focus isn’t just on one occurrence; I look at the bigger picture."

The incident took place after Travis Head was dismissed in Australia’s first innings when a low full toss bowled by Siraj hit the stumps. Head stood in surprise, looking at Siraj in disbelief, while Siraj displayed some aggression.

In response, Head claimed he said, "Well bowled," but Siraj responded with his own remarks and a send-off. The crowd at Adelaide Oval booed Siraj whenever he came to bowl or bat. Ultimately, India lost the match by 10 wickets on the third day of the Pink Ball Test match.
