Former India cricketer Navjot Singh Sidhu tore into Travis Head over his “obnoxious behaviour” on field on Day 5 of IND vs AUS 4th Test in Melbourne. The Aussie all-rounder celebrated the fall of a wicket in a rather bizarre fashion, sparking outrage. While Australia skipper Pat Cummins explained that the celebration had a rather funny anecdote to it, Sidhu claimed that it was insulting 1.4 billion Indians and demanded strict punishment.
Travis Head’s obnoxious behaviour called out
Head broke out into this bizarre celebration following the dismissal of Rishabh Pant.
