Gavaskar said, ‘It is not surprising that he is getting criticism from the crowd. Travis Head is a local hero and if only he had been applauded after scoring 100, Siraj would have become a hero to the entire crowd. By bidding farewell to him he has become a ‘villain’.
Why did Gavaskar get angry at the fast bowler?
Australian batsman Travis Head played a brilliant inning of 140 runs in 141 balls with the help of 17 fours and 4 sixes. Because of his innings, Australia managed to take a lead of 157 runs in the first innings. Indian fast bowler Mohammad Siraj showed him the way to the pavilion by clean bowling the head. Veteran cricketer Sunil Gavaskar has also expressed his displeasure over the way Siraj celebrated after taking the wicket of Head. Gavaskar said, when Mohammed Siraj had a great opportunity to become a hero, he wasted it and became a villain. Since Travis Head is a local player there and his fan following is high there, in a way he is the hero there. That player was out after scoring a century and not after scoring 5-10 runs. If on the contrary Siraj had given respect to the head, he would have become a hero there. For this reason he had to become a victim of booing from the audience.
