Delhi: In the Melbourne Test, Australia scored a huge score of 474 runs against India in the first innings. The top and middle order batsmen performed brilliantly, with Sam Constance, Usman Khawaja and Marnus Labuschagne scoring half-centuries, while Steve Smith scored a strong century. However, Travis Head, who was proving to be the most dangerous for India in the series, was out for zero this time.
‘Exclude him from the team but…’, former Indian legend gave a big statement on Team India’s poor performance.
Although Head’s batting was a flop, a funny incident during fielding caught everyone’s attention. After Washington Sundar’s shot, Head was seen groaning in pain and jumping on the field, which became a cause of laughter for the commentators and spectators.
Sundar’s shot hurt his head
During the Indian innings, Washington Sundar played a sharp shot on the ball of Nathan Lyon, which hit the leg of Travis Head who was fielding nearby. As soon as the ball hit him, he screamed in pain and started limping and jumping on the field. Cricket Australia shared the video of this incident on its Instagram, seeing which the commentators and spectators also laughed.
Pad saved injury
However, Travis Head did not suffer much damage because he was wearing pads while fielding. Because of this, he did not get hurt despite the sharp impact of the ball.

Travis Head, who had scored 409 runs with the help of two centuries in this series, was out without opening the account in the first innings of the Melbourne Test. Jasprit Bumrah bowled him. Earlier, Head had played innings of 140 runs in Adelaide and 152 runs in Gabba. If his bat had played in Melbourne also, his number of runs could have increased further.
