The wait is over as India will go against Australia in mouth-watering Champions Trophy semi finals on Tuesday, March 04. Though Australia will have an edge on the psychological front, having recently beaten the Men in Blue at World Cup 2023 and BGT 2024-25, India under Rohit Sharma is quite buoyant.
Wherein the Men in Blue won all three Group Stage matches and have ticked all the boxes going into the semi-finals, only one roadblock stands between them and the finals-Travis Head.
Travis Head, the Australian opener, has an extraordinary record against India in all formats and has single-handedly guided his team to victory in a number of matches, including ICC events. For India to win, it’s vital they get out Head cheaply.
The Aussie star started off poorly against India, but it’s been all downhill since 2021, which reflects on his overall record against India.
He has scored 1763 runs in 32 matches against India across various formats, at an average of 44.07, with 4 centuries and 6 fifties.
He has scored centuries against them in both the WTC and ODI World Cup finals in 2023. And in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, India did not seem to have the answer as he smashed two hundreds on the tour. For this reason, he will surely prove to be the biggest threat for India.
