With Travis Head notching up his second consecutive hundred against India to put them to the sword on day two in Brisbane, fans hilariously sense that the South Australian has some issue with Rohit Sharma. With the left-hander dominating India in the previous Test in Adelaide and the preceding WTC and 50-over World Cup final, netizens called him a ‘headache’, given the Aussie batter had three consecutive ducks at the venue before this.
Head, who has now passed 300 runs in the series, failed in his first innings. However, since then, he passed fifty once and followed it up with consecutive boundaries. The 30-year-old averages well over 100 against India across formats as he plotted Australia’s ascendancy after surviving a testing morning session at the Gabba on day two.
The southpaw reached his ninth ton off a flick to the leg-side off Jasprit Bumrah’s bowling just before the players headed off for tea break. The partnership between Head and Steve Smith amounted to well over 150 when the players headed for tea. Even Virat Kohli was seen congratulating the pair when players headed off for tea break.
Below is how the netizens reacted to Travis Head’s second consecutive ton:
