On Day 1 of the third Test of the ongoing Border Gavaskar Trophy at The Gabba, Brisbane, the crowd erupted as they saw Mohammad Siraj on the field; the crowd was seen booing him from a distance. Mohammad Siraj. India is playing the third Test at The Gabba on December 14. However, the day's start did not go well, as the crowd reacted negatively to Siraj. This, undoubtedly, is the aftermath of the fiery incident that happened in Adelaide between the local boy Travis Head and Siraj. Watch the Gabba crowd booing Siraj. Big boo for siraj from the crowd#AUSvIND #TheGabba pic.twitter.com/rQp5ekoIak — ٭𝙉𝙄𝙏𝙄𝙎𝙃٭ (@nitiszhhhh) December 14, 2024 Siraj vs. Head or Australia? Mohammad Siraj had a nasty verbal exchange after dismissing Travis Head in the pink ball Test match at Adelaide. Head, who had already scored 140 runs with one run-a-ball strike rate before the wicket-ball, got his stumps toppled by Siraj in the first inning. Head had already smacked Siraj for a six in the last ball; probably that had triggered Siraj more and had his emotions burst out after getting Travis Head. Exchange of cuss words, which Head claimed that he "mockingly" said "well bowled" to Siraj, did not go well with the later. Siraj, the next day denied everything that nothing "mocking" events happened. However, while Siraj came to bat, both looked to have resolved the matter and shared hugs after the match. The Adelaide crowd had booed Siraj after he took Head; even though he came to bat and got dismissed, the scenario did not change. Jasprit Bumrah, who was partnering Siraj with the bat, had to ask Siraj to lead him to the dressing room to give off a better response to the crowd. But the Aussie crowd seems to not get tired and started the same thing at Gabba.

Well, India has won the toss and decided to field first. But rain has done enough to interrupt the play for at least twice, until Lunch has been called. The play is yet paused due to rain. Notably, India has made two changes—dropped Harshit Rana and got Akash Deep, and Ravindra Jadeja in place of Ravichandran Ashwin Do the Aussies ever get tired against Siraj? Probably not! A video went viral recently where an Australian fan was seen praising Siraj for his bowling and attitude. But do they really do that? In 2020-21, Ajinkya Rahane had to pause the game on Day 4 of the Sydney Test, where he kind of threatened the umpire to halt the game if the abusing fans were not thrown out of the stadium. The "fans" were reportedly abusing both Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammad Siraj based on their race. Siraj showed good spirit and informed the stand-in captain, Ajinkya Rahane, about the issue. Later, the umpires did the necessary, and the play was resumed. India ultimately had drawn the match, thanks to the commendable grit of injured Ravichandran Ashwin and Hanuma Vihari.
