Cricket World Cup: The Head that guides Australia to glory

Hindustan Times  

Ricky Ponting in 2003. A World Cup final hundred, against India, at the world’s biggest cricket stadium, silencing the most partisan 130,000-strong audience ever, Head was everything Australia would have loved him to be in the match of all matches. Australia's Travis Head celebrates after scoring a century during the Cricket World Cup final match against India at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday. Player of the match at the World Test Championship final in June for scoring 163 in a 209-run defeat of India at The Oval and now, back-to-back Man of the Match awards in the World Cup semi-final and final, Head is truly in a league of his own now. Two months ago, it would have been impossible to predict Australia would win the World Cup, that too led by an innings from Head who had been sidelined because of a left-hand fracture in the first place.
