India’s anger over dramatic defeat to Australia in the Boxing Day Test continues to rage, with hundreds of fans targeting Travis Head and his wife after the Australian star’s bizarre celebration.
The match appeared to be heading for a draw, with India sitting at 3/121 when Head got Rishabh Pant to Skype a ball to Mitch Marsh in the outfield.
The wicket caused a bizarre celebration, with the off-spinner simulating dipping his spinning finger in ice.
It didn’t take long for outraged fans to lash out at Head on social media.
Former international player and politician, Navjot Singh Sidhu, demanded sanctions against the chief for insulting the nation of India.
“Travis Head’s obnoxious behavior during the Melbourne test is not good for the gentleman’s game,” Sidhu wrote on X.
