Australian opener Travis Head shared his thoughts about the forthcoming Border Gavaskar Trophy 2025. The cricketer said that while the Indian team is extremely difficult to play with, but not his favourite competitors. Head, who has achieved several records against Rohit Sharma and Co. is set to record another memorable tournament against the South Asian Giants. India will clash against the Baggy Greens in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, which is set to begin in late November.
Australia’s white-ball opener is their middle-order specialist in the red-ball format, and is already looking forward to continuing his momentum against the Indian side. Head played a key role for his side in the World Test Championship Final and the ODI World Cup Final, and helped them win both the tournaments. Ahead of the BGT, Head spoke on Star Sports and said that it was incredibly tough to play against India.
