India pacer Mohammed Siraj received loud boos from a section of the crowd at the Gabba, Brisbane as Rohit and co. clashed with Pat Cummins’ Australian team in the third Test of the ongoing BGT 2024.

After winning the toss, India captain Rohit Sharma decided to bowl first, relying on his speed trio of Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, and Akash Deep to take advantage of the early conditions.

As Siraj took the ball, the Gabba crowd erupted with boos, intensifying the already charged atmosphere of this pivotal Border-Gavaskar Trophy match.

This was due to the incident that had happened between Mohammed Siraj and Travis Head in the Adelaide Test. Siraj had given a fiery sendoff to Head after the Australian batter had scored a brilliant ton. Head also gave it back to Siraj and both the players copped fines from ICC and got demerit points to their record.

The booing at the Gabba echoed those in Adelaide, emphasizing Siraj's divisive status in Australia. Such meetings have frequently brought out the Indian pacer's belligerent side, with fans anxious to see if he can break through in Brisbane.
