Travis Head timed the ball to perfection and brought up his ton in 95 balls. He has batted with a strike rate of over 106 and also has smashed 14 fours and 2 sixes in his innings. He along with Marnus Labuschagne has made Indian bowlers look clueless with their 150+ partnership.

Travis Head became only the third batter from Australia to hit a century in the World Cup final. He joined the likes of Ricky Ponting and Adam Gilchrist to achieve the feat. He also became the second batter after Aravinda de Silva to hit the ton in the chase in the World Cup final.

Must be a satisfying feeling when you hit a cricket ball and it results in the silence of 110,000 people. An absolutely brilliant innings from Travis Head #CWC23 #INDvAUS

Twice in the same year, Travis Head has played an all-time innings in a big world final against India. If the WTC knock at The Oval was special, this one, is extraordinary & the quietest reception you’ll ever hear for a World Cup final century #IndvAus #CWC23

The impact Travis Head has had in big games in such a small career is remarkable. Literally everytime he has been for them.
