Australian batter Travis Head has been a major cause of concern for every opposition team playing in recent times against the Aussies across all formats. While currently, Head has been dominating the India side in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy as he has batted stunningly for his consecutive hundreds.
Cheteshwar Pujara shared recently in a show with Star Sports that Indian pacers should stick to their middle and leg stump line for the Aussie left-handed batter. Travis Head is too strong when he gets the minimum width outside off stump; hence, Pujara suggests not to offer him that width.
Alongside the line, he also suggested that bowlers should implement casual deliveries around the middle stump and should bowl some surprise bouncers to baffle them better enough to dismiss him.
Travis Head, who scored 140 at Adelaide and 152 against India at the Gabba, if dismissed early, can be a huge help to India considering their chances in the BGT.
Michael Clarke has backed Indian skipper Rohit Sharma to get runs at MCG
The Indian side, who are struggling for the first time in the World Test Championship, and the Indian side are in a tough situation in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, as the Indian batting order has collapsed in multiple situations.
The MCG test, which has been known to be India’s major success ground, will be the ground featuring the decisive Boxing Day test. India’s batting concerns can only be solved if the skipper returns to form.
Former Australian legend Michael Clarke, speaking in a recent podcast, suggested Rohit Sharma be back in form and backed him to get a massive total in the Boxing Day test for India. This would raise huge hope for India to see their most explosive test batter back in the groove, while it seems eminent that the skipper will continue to bat down the order at no. 6.
