One of the best knockouts in ODI World Cup history took place at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium. In the final on Sunday, November 19, Travis Head brilliant century helped Australia defeat India by six wickets. With this triumph, the ‘Men in Yellow’ secured an unprecedented sixth ODI World Cup championship.

But Travis Head was unflinching, counterattacking forcefully to score a 120-ball 137, turning the match into a one-sided contest. A segment of Indian fans took exception at the southpaw’s valiant actions, attacking him in the Instagram post’s comments section. Some even went so far as to mistreat Head’s wife and daughter, who is one year old, in the comments area.
