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.

A striking highlight of the pink-ball Test was a counter-attack by Head, who scored a magnificent 140 in 141 balls, with 17 fours and four sixes to give a lead of 157 runs to the Aussies. India was bundled out for 175 runs and could only set 19 runs to win for the Aussies.

Head has a fine record against India in Tests, scoring 955 runs in 12 Tests and 21 innings at an average of 47.75, with two centuries and four fifties. His best score is 163. Across all formats against India, Head has made 1,555 runs in 29 matches and 38 innings at an average of 44.42, with three centuries and six fifties and the best score of 163.

In his last ten innings against India across all formats, including the latest ton, Travis has made 728 runs across all formats in eight matches, averaging 72.80, with three centuries and two fifties to his name and best score of 163* during WTC finals. This also includes a knock of 137 in the 50-over WC finals.

But India do have a chance to stop the Travis juggernaut during the third Test. In his previous three innings here, one against South Africa and two against West
