On the second day of the Gabba Test, the Australian batsmen took the Indian bowlers seriously. Due to rain, Australia's batsmen were able to play only 80 balls on the first day. However, on the second day he batted brilliantly and took his team beyond 400 runs in the first innings. After the second day's play, Australia has scored 405 runs after losing 7 wickets. Alex Carey is unbeaten on 45 and Mitchell Starc is unbeaten on 7 runs. For India, Jasprit Bumrah opened his paw and dismissed 5 Kangaroo batsmen. What happened in the second day's play raised alarm bells for Team India and Travis Head became the reason.
Australia's legendary batsman Steve Smith scored a century in this match. Facing 190 balls, he scored 101 runs with the help of 12 fours. However, the real show came from Travis Head. Head played an innings of 152 runs and scored his second consecutive century in the Test against India. Before this, he had also scored a brilliant century in the Adelaide Test. Last year also he had scored a century in the final of the World Test Championship. With this century of Head, bad news came for Team India.
In fact, whenever Head has scored a century, Australia has won.
With this century, Head has scored 15 centuries in international cricket. He has 6 centuries to his name in ODIs and 9 centuries in Tests. Head had earlier scored 14 centuries and he led his team to victory in all of them. Now he has scored a century in the Gabba Test also, in such a situation the chances of Australia's victory seem to be forming again. Now it will be interesting to see whether this time also Head is able to lead his team to victory with his century or not.Head, who played an inning of 152 runs at Gabba, completed his century in just 115 balls.
This is his third century against India in Test. Earlier, he had scored a century against Team India in the Adelaide Test and also in the 2023 WTC final. Let us tell you that Head has made another record through GABA test. He has also completed 1 thousand runs in Test cricket against India. This is his third century against India in Test.
