This is how India will get Travis Head out in Brisbane: A data-driven plan for Jasprit Bumrah and Siraj

Hindustan Times  

Travis Head continues to be a constant thorn in India's flesh, plundering runs at will against them in recent times like no other - he has scored the most runs against India across formats since the start of 2023. Head’s near-run-a-ball 140 at his home ground of the Adelaide Oval in a player-of-the-match effort helped Australia seal a series-equalising victory in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Head’s century is his third high-profile score against India in the last eighteen months, following his match-winning knocks in the World Test Championship and ODI World Cup finals in 2023. Data from the Adelaide century shows that India only bowled 5 out of 141 deliveries short and at Head’s body, which is his most vulnerable area in Test cricket. A third tactic India might use to stem run-scoring, if not actively hunt for wickets, is to look for yorkers against Head, which dismissed him in Adelaide and also was used by Shamar Joseph in West Indies’ famous Gabba win earlier this year.
