Travis Head played key knocks in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) 2024-25. Head smashed 152 runs off 160 deliveries in Australia’s first innings of the third Test against India in Brisbane. However, his knock couldn’t help the team register a win as rain forced a draw on the final day.

In a video shared on his YouTube channel ‘Aakash Chopra’, he said, “We are unable to understand Travis Head at all because whatever we are doing is not right. We played Akash Deep with the thinking that he would trap Travis Head as he comes around the stumps and bowls very well. What is the way to get Travis Head out?” he shared.

“I personally feel bowl over the stumps, don’t go around the stumps, and angle the ball across. Try to consistently bowl the lines the Australians have bowled to Rishabh Pant where you force him to hit square against deliveries that are angled across. Then there is a chance that he might get the outside edge. That’s point one,” he further added.

In the same video, Aakash Chopra also urged the Indian seamers to bowl Travis Head with bouncers.

“The second, I am thinking about the bouncer plan. We don’t bowl bouncers at all. We bowled a few in the second innings. He eventually didn’t get out to a bouncer but to a short ball. That will happen because these are big grounds, you can make a bouncer trap, and consistently attack with that length. You can try to hit the ball on Travis’ head. If you do that, you can stop him. At least, you can expect that. The series is at 1-1, Australia have dominated the last two games, but the difference between the two sides is Head. He suddenly changes the game in one direction,” Aakash Chopra concluded.
