Travis Sardor showed his incredible form on day 2 Pink ball test between Australia and India at the Adelaide Oval. Playing on home turf, Head smashed a brilliant 140 runs off just 141 balls, including 17 fours and four superb sixes. His knock was a mix of aggression and control that left the Indian bowlers scrambling for answers.
It was Hyde’s eighth Test century and his second against India. The southpaw has consistently performed on big occasions against the Men in Blue, having also scored centuries in the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2023 and the 2023 World Cup final. His ability to dominate India’s attack has made him a vital figure in Australia’s batting line-up.
Mohammad Siroj sent an animation after Travis Head’s heroics
Sarwari’s explosive innings came to an end Muhammad Siroch delivered a perfect yorker, uprooting the covers and sending the Adelaide crowd into a mixture of cheers and gasps. The handover testified to Siraj’s skill as he identified the base of the stumps to dismiss the centurion.
However, the drama did not end there. When Sar came back, Siroj told him to stand close and speak. The chief, who was visibly angry, responded privately, reportedly dropping the “F” bomb during the heated exchange. While there was no concrete audio evidence of these words being exchanged, Siroj’s animated gestures and Sar’s body language spoke volumes for the tension between the two.

The Adelaide crowd applauds Sar, but boos Siraj
The home crowd at the Adelaide Oval gave Hyde a standing ovation for his brilliant knock. His innings was the backbone of Australia’s first innings and put the hosts in a strong position.
But the crowd was less appreciative of Siraj’s fiery send-off. As Siroj returned to his fielding position and many fans expressed their displeasure at the bowler’s aggressive behaviour, boos echoed around the stadium.
