New Delhi: The fourth Test match of the five-Test Ashes series 2021-22 has started at the Sydney Cricket Ground from today. Australia has so far dominated England in the Ashes with a 3-0 lead, as well as successfully defending the title.
Meanwhile, on the first day of the fourth Ashes Test, England spinner Jack Leach’s strange gesture left fans stunned. A fan requested Leach for an autograph. As the spinner proceeded to sign the autograph, the fan put his head forward and Leach jokingly signed the fan’s bald head with a pen.
Australia were batting at 117/3 when the incident happened and Jack Leach was fielding near the boundary rope. At this time only 2 overs were left for the end of the day’s play.
As the entire episode unfolded, the fans around looked very excited, clapping with joy. The video of the incident is going viral on social media.
