In the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024–25, the third Test concluded in a tie. With India winning the first Test and Australia winning the second, the series score was tied, and Australia and India faced off at the Gabba in Brisbane.
Several of the series’ performances have been particularly noteworthy thus far, with three Test matches completed. Travis Head’s efforts as the star batter have been the majority of them. Head has so far shown himself to be an absolute nightmare for the Indian team.
But in Brisbane’s second innings, despite his outstanding knocks, Head was unable to make a significant impact. Additionally, Head may have experienced some groin problems when dashing between the wickets, according to the commentators. Speaking about the same, Head said that there is no need for concern after considering his injury scenario.
“I am really happy with how I am hitting right now. “I’m a little sore, but I should be fine (before the next game),” Head stated during the presentation ceremony held after the game.
Struggling wicket: Travis Head
Travis Head scored 152 runs in the first inning before being removed on a score of 17 in the second. Regarding the pitch’s characteristics, Head thought that it was a difficult wicket and expressed satisfaction with his first-inning partnership with Steve Smith.
The wicket is difficult. I needed to work the gears. I was happy that I could complete the plans I had in mind. Good collaboration with Steve Smith. Try to do a good job of summarising the conditions. This series, I did a good job of assessing the conditions. I’m happy with the tempo I batted at. Communication was really laid back. I felt as though he had returned to his rhythm, and knowing that he will be around for a while gives me complete freedom and confidence. “I think I’m manipulating the situation in front of me,” Head continued.
