Indian cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar has openly criticized the Australian cricket community for their perceived double standards in reacting to Indian pacer Mohammed Siraj's send-off to Travis Head.

Siraj bowled out Head during the Day/Night Test in Adelaide, and his subsequent aggressive celebration drew criticism. Head, who scored a century, claimed Siraj's reaction was unwarranted.

The International Cricket Council issued a warning to Head and fined Siraj a portion of his match fee. Gavaskar's comments address a perceived hypocrisy, pointing out that Australian players often display similar behavior.
