Travis Head slammed almost every Indian bowler out of the park

Head has slammed almost every Indian bowler out of the park and has ensured that Australia National Cricket Team get a lead of over 90 runs. The Southpaw has hardly put a foot wrong and has carried on his form with the bat in the longest format of the game.

Head struck a brilliant century and put the India National Cricket Team under pressure. He reached the landmark in Ravichandran Ashwin's over when he flicked the ball wide of mid-wicket and took a quick single to score his ton in 111 balls.

What caught the attention of many was his celebration after he reached his century. As he completed his ton, he immediately rocked the baby celebration with his bat and gestured towards his wife and young baby watching on from the ground. He didn't stop there, and he pulled his trademark celebration after that.

Head then placed his bat handle on the helmet and lifted the helmet. The crowd at the Adelaide Oval went berserk as they all stood up and applauded the hometown boy for his special innings with the bat.
