‘Stringent punishment that would serve a deterrent’

"Travis head’s obnoxious behaviour during the course of the Melbourne test doesn’t auger well for the gentleman’s game…… sets the worst possible example when there are kids, women, young & old watching the game……. this caustic conduct did not insult an individual but a nation of 1.5 billion Indians……stringent punishment that would serve a deterrent for the future generations needs to be slapped on him so that no one dares follow suit !!!" Sidhu wrote on X.

I can explain that. His finger is so hot, that he is going to put it in a cup of ice. Yes, that’s what it is," Australian skipper Pat Cummins said after the match.
