India were thumped by 10 wickets in the Adelaide Test. However, the much-talking point of the game came when Mohammed Siraj rattled Travis Head’s stumps after the latter scored 140 and gave him a send-off. The duo was seen exchanging words among themselves and ICC would later slap both of them with a 20 per cent match fee.
“Well, I think ICC is a bit too strict on players. These things happen in the ground. Obviously, forget what has happened and move forward. The players have patched up and talked to each other. Anyways, ICC being ICC has sanctioned the players. Let’s put that aside now and let’s move forward which is obviously, Brisbane. Let’s focus on cricket rather than all these controversies. Enough is enough,” said Harbhajan.
