Even when the test is a Pink Ball Test, the temperament of the game is nothing less. The Indian pacer Mohammed Siraj might face a serious consequence of his actions. 

Mohammed Siraj sparked controversy on the second day of the Adelaide Test with a heated exchange following Travis Head’s dismissal. After removing Head for a blazing 140 off 141 balls, Siraj made remarks as the batter walked off, prompting a sharp response. The on-field umpires intervened, appearing to warn the Indian pacer.

Head’s scintillating knock, featuring 17 fours and 4 sixes, earned him a thunderous ovation from the Adelaide crowd as he walked off the field.

This followed a tense first day, where Siraj’s frustration boiled over. In the 25th over, he deliberately threw the ball towards Marnus Labuschagne after a spectator carrying beer glasses caused a distraction. The act, a clear breach of ICC rules, could result in sanctions if reported to the match referee.

After a remarkable win in Perth, India’s performance in the second Test has been disappointing. In their second innings, the team collapsed, losing 5 wickets for just 128 runs. Openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul fell early, scoring 24 off 31 balls and 7 off 10 balls, respectively.

Shubman Gill managed a brief 28-run knock off 30 balls, while Virat Kohli contributed only 11 off 21. Skipper Rohit Sharma struggled as well, scoring just 6 runs off 15 deliveries.
