Greg Chappell Lauds Travid Heads Fearless Approach Against Jasprit Bumrah
Former Australian cricketer Greg Chappell has heaped praise on Travis Head for his audacious and effective approach against India's pace spearhead, Jasprit Bumrah, during the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy series.
In his column for The Sydney Morning Herald, Chappell highlighted Head's ability to not just survive against Bumrah but also counter-attack, disrupting the rhythm of one of the world's most formidable bowlers. Head's performances against Bumrah stand out in a series where many batters have struggled against the Ahmedabad-born pacer's unorthodox action, searing pace, and pinpoint accuracy.
Bumrah has picked up 21 wickets in three Tests at a jaw-dropping average of 10.90. Despite Bumrah dismissing Head twice, the left-hander has managed to score 83 runs off him at an average of 41.5 and a blistering strike rate of 91.2.
