IND vs AUS: Half the team is new, plan against India is also new, opener is also new, what is going on in head’s mind – travis head have different plans vs india for indore test

New Delhi: Australia left-hander Travis Head has decided to maintain an aggressive approach against the Indian spinners in the third Test starting March 1 in Indore. Australia suffered a defeat inside day three of the second Test and the team remained that way after the match was over on Sunday. Opener David Warner has returned home due to elbow fracture. In such a situation, Usman will start the innings with Khawaja in the third Test starting in Indore from 1st. He was not a part of the team in the first Test of the series played in Nagpur.

When asked about not getting a place in the playing XI in Nagpur, Head said, “It was something that I did not expect after coming here.” There was a lot of discussion about this. I respect the coaching staff and the selectors. I have a very strong relationship with him. The day after the start of the match, I told myself that I am still doing what I love. It was just a week that didn’t go my way.


Opening the innings for the first time in a Test match, Head batted aggressively and put the Indian spinners under pressure on the second day of the match. After his dismissal on the very first ball after the start of the third day’s play, India tightened the screws on the match. Australia lost nine wickets in 52 runs. Head said his 43 in the second innings at the Kotla gave him a lot of confidence.

Australia are trailing 0-2 in the four-match series and Head also admitted that his team will have to work hard to bounce back in the series. He said, ‘Our team is very strong and united. There will be times during the match when we are not in a strong position but that has to be dealt with. Circumstances will not happen as you wish. It will be a challenge for us in the next two weeks though. We have to see how to find the rhythm and then hold onto it. Have to support yourself amid the noise in a stadium full of spectators.
