With the conclusion of the first week, it’s time to know some overseas players who performed exceptionally.

Here is the best overseas XI of the week:

1. Travis Head

Australia top-order batter Travis Head made his comeback in the league after seven years with his magnificent 62-run knockoff 24 balls against Mumbai Indians (MI) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. Batting as an opener, he gave an ideal start to Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). The southpaw completed his half-century in just 18 deliveries and surpassed David Warner’s feat for the fastest fifty for SRH. However, Head held the record for a few minutes as Abhishek Sharma shattered his feat with a 16-ball fifty.
