IND vs AUS: Combined XI from WTC Final 2023

5. Travis Head

Travis Head has turned quite a few heads this Australian summer with his quick-fire and attacking knocks and the batter seized the opportunity in the WTC 2023 final as well to display his dominance with the bat for Australia. The Aussie was in the middle of the first session of day One and seemed in a positive frame of mind from the word go. 

Head scored at a healthy rate and was not letting any bowler settle down. He was quick on his feet against Jadeja and was playing the seamers exceptionally well. The batter scored rather freely and his innings of 163 runs included 25 fours and a solitary six. He was quick to cash in on loose deliveries and never gave the opposition a chance to keep him quiet in the middle. 

Travis Head, with his aggressive batting and quick-fire hundred, snatched the match from India on the first day itself and for his magnificent batting display was adjudged the Player of the Match in the final. With Ashes 2023 just a few days away, the way in which Travis Head scored runs in English conditions would be making the Australian Support staff very happy and he would like to perform the same way or even better in the upcoming blockbuster Test series.
