When Australian captain Pat Cummins arrived for the press conference after winning the Melbourne Test against India, he was asked about Travis Head's unique celebration.

Pat Cummins said, "Excuse me! Now I understand what you are trying to say. I can explain it to him. "His finger is so hot that he is going to put it in a cup of ice." This celebration means only this and nothing else.

Pat Cummins further said that I think it started at the Gabba. He got a wicket, he went straight to the fridge, picked up some ice and put his finger in it. Then he passed by Lino (Nathan Lyon), thinking that it was the funniest thing ever.

Former Indian cricketer Navjot Singh Sidhu has slammed Travis Head and demanded strict punishment for him. Sidhu wrote on his X account that Travis Head's obnoxious behavior during the Melbourne Test is not good for a gentleman's game. It sets the worst example when children, women, young and old are watching the game. This cowardly conduct has insulted not just a person but the nation of 1.5 billion Indians. He should be given a strict punishment which will be a deterrent for future generations so that no one can dare to do this.
