Delhi: Australia’s deadly batsman Travis Head remains a big headache for the Indian cricket team. Head has troubled India on many important occasions, be it the final of the ICC World Test Championship 2023, the final of the ODI World Cup 2023 or the current series. But, now there may be difficulties for Head in the fourth Test match to be held in Melbourne, because Jasprit Bumrah will dominate here.
