Australia national cricket team captain Pat Cummins spoke about Travis Head’s celebration after taking the wicket of Rishabh Pant in the second innings of the fourth Test. He said it was a joke within the camp and was not something to make fun of the Indian National Cricket Team.

Travis Head has once again proven to be a big hurdle for the Indian national cricket team in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. However, this time, he contributed with the ball and changed the entire course of the game in favor of the Australian National Cricket Team.

Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rishabh Pant bring India back into the game after three first wickets

In the chase of 340 runs, after the Indian National Cricket Team lost three quick wickets, it was Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rishabh Pant who brought the Indian National Cricket Team back into the game. The duo came together and batted superbly, getting the team out of trouble and putting pressure back on the opposition.

Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rishabh Pant ensured that the Indian national cricket team did not lose any wicket in the post-lunch session as they were quite solid with the bat. The duo added 88 runs together and with the way they were going, it looked like they would help the team tie the match.

Travis Head takes off his Rishabh pants and creates a unique celebration

But the change of situation occurred when Head was given the ball in the last session. He proved to be the man with a golden arm when he took off Rishabh Pant. It is fair to say that the wicket changed the course of the game and also caused the collapse of the Indian National Cricket Team.

Travis Head bowled a short-pitched ball, tempting Rishabh Pant to play a big shot, but he didn’t get the right connection as he got caught at long-off. This put pressure on the Indian camp as they lost seven wickets for just 34 runs in the final session and lost the game by a margin of 184 runs.

What caught the attention of many was Travis Head’s reaction after taking the wicket. The Australian National Cricket Team batsman came up with a unique celebration as he pointed his finger at his other palm, which was shaped like a hole.

This caused Travis Head to face a lot of criticism for his celebration. There were even calls from fans and experts for the ICC to take action against the batsman. It became the main topic of conversation, but Captain Pat Cummins ended the debate by explaining it.

His finger is so hot he’s going to put it in a cup of ice – Pat Cummins on Travis Head’s ‘in the hole’ celebration

Pat Cummins said it was Travis Head’s celebration, where he had his finger hot and put it in a cup of ice. He later explained that the batsman took wickets in one of the games and went straight to grab an ice cube to stick his finger in it and taunt Nathan Lyon. Speaking to reporters, he explained:

“Oh, I’m sorry! Yeah, okay! I can explain that. Your finger is so hot you’re going to put it in a cup of ice. Yeah, that’s what it is. That’s usually the running joke. Was it in the Gabba or somewhere where he also got a wicket and went straight to the fridge, grabbed an ice cube, stuck his finger in and just walked in front of Lyon (Nathan Lyon, just like that, thinks it’s really funny). what would be been, nothing more.”
