The incident unfolded when Travis Head, after a blistering 140, was dismissed by Mohammed Siraj, who directed a send-off towards the Australian batter by pointing to the dressing room.
A brief verbal exchange followed the dismissal, but the two reconciled on the field during India’s second innings when Siraj came out to bat.
