Sunil Gavaskar criticized Australian cricketers and fans for targeting Mohammed Siraj after his altercation with Travis Head in the Adelaide Test. Siraj faced boos from Australian crowds during his bowling spells in both Adelaide and Brisbane. Gavaskar, in his Sydney Morning Herald column, called out Australia’s "double standards," claiming they would cheer if their player displayed similar aggression. Siraj's animated send-off to Head, who scored a century, incited the backlash. Gavaskar also noted the reduced animosity due to the Indian Premier League. The ICC penalized both players, with Siraj losing 20% of his match fee.
