It wasn’t the first time Siraj was booed by the Australian fans in the ongoing series as he found himself on the receiving end after his heated altercation with Head on Day 2 of the 2nd Test in Adelaide. The growing tension between Siraj and the Australian crowd has added extra spice to the already blockbuster series between the two top teams in the world.
The boos wouldn’t be an issue for Siraj as the Indian pacer has often thrived when poked by others and has brought out his aggressive best on the field. He will be looking to continue to focus on doing well for India with the ball and pick up wickets for the team at regular intervals in the third Test. Siraj was one of India’s most impactful bowlers in the Adelaide Test with 4 wickets to his name.
