Zero To Hero: Travis Head Enters History Books With Unique Test Record During 3rd Game

India's bane and Australia's boon, Travis Head, became the first batter to bag a King Pair and century at a venue in the same calendar year. The Gabba considered Australia's fortress, wasn't Head's favourite playground when he turned up to face the West Indies in the day-night Test earlier this year. He was dismissed for a golden duck twice, a 'King Pair' at The Gabba before stepping into the venue once again on Sunday in the third Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against India. When up against his favourite opposition, Head brought thunder down the ground with an explosive display with the bat. Before the southpaw's arrival, the pitch, which appeared to bowler's heaven, quickly evaporated and turned into their worst nightmare.

As Travis Head and Steve Smith put giant runs on the board on Day 2 of the third Test at the Gabba, Indian players' shoulders dropped and so did skipper Rohit Sharma's ability to think clearly. Be it Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Akash Deep, Ravindra Jadeja, or Nitish Reddy, none of the pacers seemed to have the strategy to break the Head-Smith partnership. During one of the overs from Siraj, his and skipper Rohit's field placement was also branded 'dumb' by none other than Australia great Simon Katich.

Fresh after taking a 20 percent hit on his match fee over the on-field altercation with Australia batter Travis Head, Mohammed Siraj produced another act that is going to be talked about for long. The India pacer, struggling to grab his wicket of the match in the third Test of the series against Australia, showed once again that he will try every single trickery in his pocket to get under the batter's skin. In an incident that went viral on the internet, Siraj walked about to Australia batter Marnus Labuschagne and switched the bails at his end.
