‘Siraj misbehaved… can't tarnish cricket's image': Kaif pulls up India pacer for Travis Head, Labuschagne incidents
Hindustan TimesFormer India batter Mohammad Kaif said pacer Mohammed Siraj "misbehaved" with the Australian cricketers not once but twice during the day-night pink-ball Test at the Adelaide Oval. Kaif said Siraj was wrong on two occasions - firstly, to throw the ball at Marnus Labuschagne in the first innings when the Australian batter backed away because of some movement near the sightscreen and secondly, by giving an unnecessary send-off to Travis Head in the second innings after the left-hander smashed a match-winning 140.
