Pat Cummins explains Travis Head’s viral celebration: The Melbourne Test is over. The Indian team lost here by 184 runs. The fans are very disappointed after this defeat, but before this the same fans were angry with Australian cricketer Travis Head. And the reason for this resentment was the chief’s celebration.
Head celebrated after taking the wicket of Rishabh Pant
Coincidentally, Head’s celebration after taking the wicket of Rishabh Pant angered people. This is about the 59th over of India’s second innings. After losing three wickets for just 33 runs, Rishabh Pant along with Yashasvi Jaiswal took command of Team India. The partnership between the two had reached close to 100 runs. But then Cummins gambled on starting the third season with Travis Head.
Rishabh Pant was batting with great patience in the second innings of the Melbourne Test and his strike rate of 28.85 can be estimated. Meanwhile, Australian captain Pat Cummins decided to bowl to Travis Head. It was the 59th over when Pant lost control on the fourth ball and hit a big shot. It is not easy to hit a six at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, so the ball went straight to Mitchell Marsh. Pant was out after scoring 30 runs on 104 balls. Travis Head celebrated this wicket in a unique way on the total score of 121. He folded one of his hands into a deep vessel and inserted the finger of the other hand into it several times.
There are various types of discussions regarding this celebration of the Chief. Many people associate it with golf. Because Head plays a lot of golf. So many people are calling it an indecent gesture. There was a huge uproar on social media on this issue. But after some time it came to light that there was an old matter behind this celebration. Head has also posted the story of this celebration on Instagram. In this story, Head is seen putting his finger in a glass filled with ice.
Pat Cummins had to give clarification
After the end of the match, Australian captain Pat Cummins was also asked about this. In response, Cummins initially said, ‘I did not see Travis Head’s celebration, but when the media manager of the Australian team told him about Head’s celebration, Cummins said, ‘Okay, okay.’ Let me explain to you. ‘It wasn’t a rude gesture but what he meant to say was, my fingers are so hot I have to put them in a cup filled with ice. that was all. This is a joke we keep doing. He also lost wickets in Gabba and other Tests and then immediately went to the fridge, took out ice and put his finger in it and then went to Nathan Lyon and stood up. He thought it was very funny. That’s all there was to it.’
Let us tell you that Head has also scored the most runs in this series. After four tests he has 410 runs to his name. Which also includes two centuries. Australia now leads the series 2-1. The last test of the series will be played in Sydney from 3 January.
