NEW DELHI: India pacer Mohammed Siraj responded to the

ICC

's penalty over his send-off gesture to Australian batter

Travis Head

Replying to the question, Siraj said, "Yeah man, it’s all good."
When asked further whether he was upset by it, the Indian pacer said, "I am going to the gym now."
The incident took place on Day 2 after Head's dismissal by Siraj's yorker, which ended his match-winning innings of 140 runs from 141 deliveries. There was a heated send-off from the Indian bowler after the dismissal.
Head and Siraj offered contrasting accounts of their encounter during Day 2. Head maintained that he complimented Siraj with "well bowled" after his dismissal. However, Siraj disputed this version, stating that Head made no such remark and telling a lie about the exchange.

Subsequently, after the

Adelaide Test
