Can India Stop Travis Head Juggernaut At Brisbane? A Look At Left-Hander's Stats At The Venue

As India takes on Australia in the third Test at Brisbane, a lot of eyes will be on Aussie batter Travis Head, whose counter-attacking ways have emerged as a headache for the visitors in recent times, often turning a winnable match into a humiliating defeat for India single-handedly. Heading into the third Test, the series is level at 1-1. After a loss to India by 295 runs at Perth's Optus Stadium, the hosts bounced back magnificently with a 10-wicket win in the pink-ball Test at Adelaide, where the star-studded Indian line-up failed and the dominance of pink-ball maestros Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins was evident throughout the match.

How Did Mitchell Starc React To Yashasvi Jaiswal's "Too Slow" Sledge? Ricky Ponting Says...

Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting believes a cheeky remark from India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal during the first Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series may have given extra motivation to Mitchell Starc to deliver his career-best performance in the second Test in Adelaide. Jaiswal contributed a knock of 161 in the second innings of the series opener in Perth. During his stellar knock, he remarked that Starc was "bowling too slow". The comment brought a wry smile to the face of Starc at the time, but it was the left-arm quick that had the last laugh when he dismissed the India opener for a duck with a peach on the very first delivery of the match in Adelaide.
