Travis Head’s Fifty – (X.com)

The ongoing match between India and Australia has reached an interesting stage as the Australians got off to a brilliant start with 206 runs.

Notably, India, batting first, put a colossal total of 205 runs on the board thanks to Rohit Sharma’s 92-run innings. In response, India got an early breakthrough but Travis Head took the responsibility to get Australia out of trouble and smashed another fifty against India.

Head loves playing against India, as he scored a century in the WTC final and also troubled the Men in Blue with a hundred in the ICC World Cup 2023 final. In the ongoing match, the left-hander made his half-century in just 24 balls.

Head completed his 50 off the bowling of Kuldeep Yadav, but it was Axar Patel’s error that led to a boundary, which led to Head’s half-century. Axar failed to stop a simple shot coming his way. The incident happened moments after he made a stunning catch at the border.
