Delhi: On the last day of the fourth Test between India and Australia, Rishabh Pant’s brilliant innings came to an unfortunate end at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). Pant, who was looking in good form, was out after playing a bad shot off the ball of Travis Head. This wicket put India in a difficult situation.

Head’s celebration surprised everyone
The incident happened when Pant was batting with confidence. He tried to pull the short ball, but the ball hit the lower part of the bat and went into the air. Mitchell Marsh, standing at deep long-on, took a brilliant catch while running to the left.
Travis Head, who was successful in taking wickets while bowling for the first time in this series, sent Pant to the pavilion at a crucial juncture. However, Head’s style of celebration was a bit strange. He placed one of his fingers on the other hand, which was shaped like a circle, which fans and commentators were surprised to see.

What is the meaning of the gesture?
Channel 7’s James Brayshaw explained the meaning of this gesture. He said, “After taking 4-10 in 17 balls against Sri Lanka in 2022, Head had said, ‘I had to put the digit on ice’. Perhaps this was the reason why. He did this.”
This information of Brayshaw was also appreciated by fellow commentator Greg Bluevett. He said, “You have given very good information. I understood its meaning.”
