It was always tough facing up against him: Travis Head on Jasprit Bumrah
Travis Head said at the post-match presentation: “He bowled brilliantly, bowled wicket-taking balls, and was always tough facing up against him. I always enjoyed batting with Steve (Smith); when he bats well, I always go unnoticed. I thought he was moving (his feet) very well; it allowed me to be proactive as well. I just enjoy what I do; I just want to play well for the team, for the guys on the team, and I'm enjoying it.”

Travis Head says he was a bit nervous to start against Ravindra Jadeja
Head further explained, “I have played enough against India; I've had a blueprint, and I was a bit nervous to start against spin; I was happy with the way I started against him today (on Ravindra Jadeja). The new ball will do something throughout the game; I can't see too far ahead of the game, but hopefully the weather plays up nicely, but the new ball will be crucial. The top 6 (batting) is setting up nicely, hopeful of doing well in Sri Lanka and getting into the WTC final. Very pleased for Smudge, he has had a lot against him, and it's nice to see him get back to his best form.”
In the end, the Australian batter Travis Head expressed his delight after his remarkable performance, highlighting how special it was to follow up his century at the Adelaide Oval. He credited the top order for their solid play against the new ball, which allowed him to be more aggressive. Head mentioned how staying positive and playing his shots made his innings enjoyable.
