Travis Head (163 & 18)
TRAVIS Head was unimpressive with the bat in the last series on English soil in 2019, scoring 191 runs in four Tests, including just one half-century. The Aussie middle-order batsman, however, was at his absolute best against India on the opening day, smashing 163 runs off just 174 balls at an impressive strike-rate of 93.67. He shared a 285-run stand with Steve Smith to bring Australia back into the match after being reduced to 76-3 in the post-lunch session on Day One. Head`s knock was also the second-highest score by an Australian on a neutral venue after Warren Bardsley (164 v South Africa) at Lord`s in 1912.
