“To be honest, they (India) can do whatever they want (I’m) more worried about our boys but like always I thought our boys’ behaviour was excellent this week like it seems to be every week. Travis Head is vice-captain of the team. He’s a big boy, he can talk for himself,” Cummins mentioned within the post-match press convention as quoted by cricket.com.au.
Earlier, Rohit additionally defended Mohammed Siraj’s on-field aggression with Travis Head, describing it as a ‘motivator’ whereas underlining the significance of respecting the sport’s spirit.
Siraj was criticised for his actions following the dismissal of the left-hand batter, who was castled by a ripper from the pacer that noticed the top of his 140-run knock.
“There’s a thin line between being aggressive and crossing the limit. As captain, it’s my responsibility to ensure we don’t cross that line. A word or two here and there doesn’t make a huge difference,” the Mumbai-born cricketer mentioned.
“He [Siraj] likes to get into the battle. It gives him success. As the captain, it’s my job to back that aggression. Obviously, there’s a fine line-we don’t want to cross anything that disrespects the game. In the past, we’ve seen many cricketers thrive in such battles, and Siraj is definitely one of them,” the skipper added.
The sequence stands tied at 1-1 and the 2 sides will now head to Brisbane for the third Check, scheduled to begin on Saturday, December 14.
