Australia celebrated Jasprit Bumrah’s injury? Travis Head is a brave admission after the test in Sydney
Travis Head expressed his satisfaction with his contribution to Australia’s historic victory over India in the 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy at home.

I don’t worry too much about the results: Travis Head
In a battle between two powerhouse teams, Travis Head felt it was crucial to make an impact whenever possible. He emphasized the importance of building a strong partnership with Usman Khawaja, which helped Australia secure a commanding position in the game.
Travis Head said after the SCG Test: “It’s nice to contribute; I don’t worry too much about the results. Two great teams; I felt like it would be nice if I could go out and contribute. Same approach as always; I felt I was moving well and I knew we would be in a good position if I could build a partnership with Usman.”
Acknowledging India’s good performances, especially during their previous tour and even in challenging conditions like Perth, Head praised their ability to push Australia to the back burner at times. He also praised player of the series Jasprit Bumrah and Nitish Kumar Reddy, who made a strong impression on his debut Test series, also in Australia.

The Australian star added: “They played extremely well in the last series here; they even put us on the back foot in Perth. It was a crazy five Tests; guys who passed all five are probably looking forward to the time off. There was also a lot of media attention. I think there were 15 people very happy that Bumrah didn’t bowl today. He is an excellent performer; he had an exceptional tour. Nitish too; I already knew how good he was. They have a lot of players who are playing well.”
