Travis Head India's headache — what's new! After last year's Test championship, Auji Batter took the title from India by scoring a century in the ODI World Cup final as well. Head's century has put the visitors in front of defeat in the Adelaide Test.
India went through the second day trailing by 29 runs. He scored 128 runs for 5 wickets in the second innings. Wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant (28) and Nitish Kumar Reddy (15) will bat on the third day tomorrow. Batting in the third session, Pat Cummins and Scott Boland took two wickets for India, who were in danger again.
Before this, Head brought Australia a score of 337 runs in the first innings for the eighth century of his Test career. The hosts started the day with 86 for 1. It ends shortly after the tea break. Head's batting exhibition went on before that. Be it Jasprit Bumrah or Mohammed Siraj or Ravichandran Ashwin – no one was spared.
He scored 140 runs in 141 balls by batting in ODI mood. 17 fours, 4 sixes in the innings. Strikerate—99.29! The Adelaide audience roared as he pushed the last ball of the 72nd over of the head innings through midwicket for a single. The celebration of the century Auji batter in front of the home fans is also worth watching. Swinging the bat like a baby, he dedicated the century to the newborn son. The camera then pans to the stands showing Hede's wife and child and daughter in her arms.
Australia also could not survive for long after Siraj's ball was headed. Bumrah took 4 wickets for India. Siraj also got the same wicket.
