Former India National Cricket Team player Aakash Chopra exposed Travis Head after the batter claimed that he said “well bowled” to Mohammed Siraj after his dismissal in the ongoing Adelaide Test. Chopra, while mocking the batter, mentioned that he dropped the F-bomb.
India National Cricket Team pacer Mohammed Siraj is potentially the most hated player in Australia currently. This is because the speedster gave an aggressive send-off to the Australia National Cricket Team batter after removing him following his century in the first innings.
Head slammed Indian bowlers all over the park and hit a terrific century. Even after that, he didn’t stop as he continued his carnage on Indian bowlers. He also hit Mohammed Siraj for a six but the pacer on the next ball removed with a staggering ball.
However, after removing him, Mohammed Siraj was at his aggressive best as he gave a fierce send-off to the batter. Travis Head, in response, said some words, and since then, the incident has become the talk of the town.
Travis Head reveals he said well bowled to Mohammed Siraj
Head, after the end of the day’s play, revealed the entire saga and claimed that he was well bowled, but the pacer took otherwise. The Aussie star admitted that he fired back when the pacer gestured for him to leave the pitch and go to the dugout. He explained:
“I said, well bowled, but he thought otherwise. When he pointed me towards the shed, he got a little bite back from me. Yeah, I’m slightly disappointed with the way that transpired.”
But in the video that has been doing rounds on the internet, it has been seen that the batter actually said something like F*** off or F*** you.
Here’s the clip of the incident:
As per Travis Head, “well bowled” is what he told Mohammed Siraj after his dismissal but the video footage shows something else, more on the lines of “FO” followed by its full form.
