Travis Head put Australia in charge on day one of their World Test Championship final against India and laid down a marker for the forthcoming Ashes with an sizzling century at the Kia Oval.
Travis Head struck like a tornado with a counter-attacking hundred that left an out-of-sorts Indian attack bereft of ideas as Australia made hay under bright sunshine by reaching 327 for 3 on the opening day of the World Test Championship final. The ploy of leaving out Ravichandran Ashwin backfired once there was bright sunshine as both Umesh Yadav and Shardul Thakur looked under-cooked as India were completely outplayed in the second and third session with Rohit Sharma's captaincy leaving a lot to be desired.
Travis Head's dashing century was the centrepiece of an Australia fightback against India on the opening day of the World Test Championship final at The Oval on Wednesday.
Travid Head played a great brand of cricket on the opening day of the World Test Championship final between Australia and India. The Australia no. 5 played with great ease and scored at a consistent rate to reach his sixth Test ton in just 106 balls. In doing so, Head became the first cricketer to score a ton in a World test Championship final.
The World Test Championship final between India and Australia kicked off at the Oval, London on Wednesday. India skipper Rohit Sharma won the toss and opted to bowl first against the Pat Cummins-led side. The Rahul Dravid-coached team went in with a four-pronged pace attack and preferred Ravindra Jadeja over seasoned off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin as the lone spinner. Mohammed Siraj dismissed Usman Khawaja to give India a really good start before David Warner and Marnus Labuschagne stitched 69 runs for the second wicket for Australia. Shardul Thakur got better of Warner and then Mohammed Shami produced a ripper to get rid of Labuschagne.
India's star batter Virat Kohli praised Australian batter Steve Smith, naming him the "best Test player" of this generation. Before the start of the World Test Championship (WTC) final against Australia, Virat Kohli featured in a video where he lauded Smith. "Steve Smith, according to me, is the best Test player of this generation. He has displayed that his adaptability is absolutely brilliant. You take any cricketer of this generation... in 85-90 Tests, he has an average of 60 which is quite unbelievable. The consistency and impact with which he scores runs, I haven't seen anyone else doing that in last 10 years. Definitely, Steve Smith, along with Marnus Labuschagne, are their main players in the batting order because they control their batting lineup," Virat told Star Sports.
Anushka Sharma attended the India Vs Australia World Test Championship (WTC) final match at The Oval in London on Wednesday. Several pictures of the 'NH-10' actor went viral on social media in which she could be seen sitting in the stands with cricketer Rohit Sharma's wife Ritika Sajdeh. Anushka could be seen donning a black and white striped jacket over a white shirt. India opted to bowl first after winning the toss against Australia at the WTC final.
Shane Williams has warned Wales against complacency ahead of a favourable looking Rugby World Cup group – admitting he is still scarred by an 'embarrassing' early exit in 2007. Wales have been drawn as the top seed in Pool C for this year's tournament and despite falling to ninth in the world rankings, will be favourites to progress alongside Australia ahead of Fiji, Georgia and Portugal.
