Australian all-rounder Travis Head found himself in hot water after celebrating the dismissal of a well-set Rishabh Pant with an inappropriate gesture during Day 5 of the ongoing Test at the MCG. Head’s celebration, which appeared obscene, immediately drew attention, raising questions about potential disciplinary action. The gesture falls under a Level 1 offense in cricket, which could result in a fine or a suspension for Head. It remains to be seen whether the match referee will take further action after reviewing the incident. Cricket Australia’s official social media account initially shared a clip of the dismissal but quickly deleted it upon realizing the controversy surrounding Head's celebration.

In the match, India is staring at defeat, currently at 142 for 7, requiring 198 more runs to win. Washington Sundar and Akash Deep are at the crease as Australia goes all out to secure a crucial 2-1 series lead.
