New Delhi: Mohammad Siraj activated aggressive mode after dismissing Travis Head in the second Test match at the Adelaide Oval in Adelaide on December 7, Saturday. Head was again giving headache to the Indian team as he made 140 runs in 141 balls.
Head started the counter-attack against Indian bowlers from the start of his innings. This was also the fastest pink-ball hundred in Test cricket. He came to the crease after the dismissal of Steve Smith and put pressure on the Indian team.
Head started Siraj’s over with a boundary and hit a massive six in the third ball of his over. Siraj bowled a lethal yorker after conceding the six and cleaned up Head with a yorker.
