Mohammed Siraj got the first wicket of Travis Head in the first ODI between India and Australia, which delighted Virat Kohli and Sunil Gavaskar.
After Mohammed Siraj bowled Aaron Finch in the first ODI against Australia, both Virat Kohli and Sunil Gavaskar were overjoyed. Hardik Pandya chose to spin first after winning the toss. Siraj locked eyes with Head after the Australia opener hit the fourth delivery of the over through the covers for a boundary, but the Indian fast bowler and dead man had the last laugh as Head walked down the wicket but played on for 5 off 10 balls. Siraj brought out the “SIUUU” in Kohli from slips, and Gavaskar and Kumble were both impressed with the manner Siraj took Travis Head’s wicket.
“If you look at what happened, the ball that he was hit for a boundary was blazing at 130 km per hour,” Gavaskar said. Rather than being discouraged, the next few deliveries have been around the 140 kph level. He simply increases his speed, and this is what happened again—Speed made the late inward shift, and Siraj got his man.
