IND vs AUS 3rd Test: Indian Kid Gives Travis Head A Fiery Send Off After Md. Siraj Dismisses Him

After Mohammed Siraj dismissed Travis Head on Day 5 during the dramatic third Test between India and Australia, a teenage Indian fan gave him a fierce send-off. As Head walked away disappointed, the fan fiercely cheered, adding energy to an already charged scene at The Gabba. This incident heightened the excitement of the match, with India needing 275 runs to win, and exemplified the youthful passion that keeps cricket alive and exciting. The reactions are valid, given the fact that Travis Head has been a major haunt for the Indian cricket in the past international games between India and Australia. 

Australia declare for 89/7, set India tricky target of 275

Australia made a spirited declaration at 89 for seven in their second innings, setting India a tricky chase of 275 runs with more than one session to go on the final day of the third Test here on Wednesday.

India's star pacer Jasprit Bumrah led the show with 3/18 in his six overs, aided well by Mohammed Siraj (2/35 in 7 overs) and Akash Deep (2/28).

The surprise move from skipper Pat Cummins came after the 18th over when they declared the innings as a two-way result seemed realistic with more than 50 overs possible in the final session.

The third Test had multiple rain interruption across the five days.

Earlier, India were all out for 260 in response to Australia's 445.

Resuming the day at 252 for nine, India added eight runs in 24 balls.

Australia gained an 185-run first innings lead after Akash Deep was stumped off Nathan Lyon in the 79th over.
