Australia National Cricket Team's batsman Travis Head has once again come to drag India's National Cricket Team. The southpaw has put the Rohit Sharma-led side under huge pressure in the second consecutive Test of the 2024-25 Frontier-Gavaskar Trophy.
Travis Head has set the stage on fire in the second consecutive Test against the Indian National Cricket Team. The left-hander has entertained the crowd at the Adelaide Oval in Adelaide, which hosts the pink ball Test between the teams, which started on Friday (December 6).
Travis Head, who walked out to bat after the dismissal of Steve Smith, has put pressure on the bowlers of the Indian National Cricket Team right from the time he reached the promotion. He has been at his aggressive best and has taken the game completely out of India's hands.
Travis Head has taken almost every Indian bowler out of the park and ensured that the Australian National Cricket Team gets a lead of over 90 runs. The southpaw has hardly put a foot wrong and has maintained his form with the bat in the longest format of the game.
Travis Head hit a brilliant century and put pressure on the Indian National Cricket Team. He reached the landmark in Ravichandran Ashwin's over when he took the ball wide at mid-wicket and took a quick single to score his ton in 111 balls.
What caught the attention of many is celebrating after reaching his age. When he finished his ton, he surprised the child's performance with his bat and moved towards his wife and young baby looking on from the ground. He didn't stop there, and drew a trademark after that.
Then Travis Head put his bat hand on the helmet and lifted the helmet. The crowd at the Adelaide Oval went wild as they all stood up and applauded the country boy for his special technique with the bat.
