In the World Cup 2023 final, Australia defeated India at home thanks to a game-winning knock by Travis Head, which crushed many Indian hearts. When the Australian arrived at Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL 2024 with all guns blazing, the same Indians welcomed him with open arms.
Head, who has lately spent the most of his time in India, spoke candidly about Indian culture during his first Major League Cricket match. The World Cup 2023 final saw a resounding turnout of Indian fans, who were also cheering Head on both on and off the pitch when he was wearing an orange SRH shirt and scoring at a strike rate of about 200.
“The friendliness of people, the quality of our accommodations, and the way we are taken care of are the things I appreciate most about India. In addition to some incredible dining and sightseeing options, there are a few excellent golf courses nearby. We’re really lucky to be well taken care of when we’re there, Head stated, as cited by Sports Boom.
While the audiences and locations we play in are undoubtedly fantastic, we also have time to relax and enjoy ourselves outside of the game. He continued, “Being in India is always a terrific experience.
