Delhi: In the second test played between India and Australia, Travis Head troubled India with his brilliant performance.

Head’s record in Gaba
Travis Head’s performance at the Gabba has been good. He has played a total of 5 matches on this ground and has scored 352 runs at an average of 50.28, which also includes a century. Head has played memorable innings of 152 runs against England, 92 runs against South Africa and 84 runs against Sri Lanka at Gabba.
Last three innings became cause for concern
However, Travis Head’s last three innings at Gabba have become a problem for Australia. In these three innings, he was out on the very first ball without scoring any runs.
- In December 2022, against South Africa, Kagiso Rabada sent him to the pavilion on the first ball.
- Head was out for a golden duck in both the innings against West Indies in January 2023. Kemar Roach made him the victim in the first innings and Shamar Joseph in the second innings.
- Now that the Gabba Test against India is about to take place, it will be interesting to see whether Travis Head will be able to return to his form or his Gabba struggles will continue. On the other hand, the Indian team will try to take advantage of this opportunity to take the lead in the series.
The teams of India and Australia will face each other in the third test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Brisbane. In this five-match series, both the teams are currently tied at 1-1. India won the first test by 295 runs, while Team India lost the second match by 10 wickets.
