Travis Head continued to punish the Indian team as he scored his 9th Test hundred during the match at the Gabba in Brisbane on Sunday, December 15. Head carried his form from his knock during the Adelaide Test, where he scored 140 off 141 balls to set up the win for his side.
Head had come on to bat with Australia in a spot of bother at 75 for 3 after Marnus Labuschagne fell to Nitish Kumar Reddy in the 34th over. The Aussie batter would start off his innings with a fantastic shot to get a boundary off Reddy and followed it up with another one against Jasprit Bumrah. Head would ensure that he got Australia to a safe spot at lunch and would launch his counterattack after the break.
The southpaw once again got a boundary off Bumrah before turning his attention towards Ravindra Jadeja. Head would hammer Jadeja for 2 consecutive boundaries in the 55th over and started to be in the groove and looking set for another big knock. Head got to his fifty in just 71 balls and started to free himself even more and started to toy with the Indian bowling.
