A thrusting Australian left-hander, Travis Head has carved a reputation as one of the most dynamic batters of the modern-day game. Regardless of the format, the belligerent top-order batter thrives on dictating terms to the bowlers. His aggressive mindset and blistering stroke-play even fetched him two ‘Player of the Final’ awards in the space of just five months in Australia’s two ICC title-winning runs back in 2023.

Moreover, Head’s arrival at Sunrisers Hyderabad in his first-full IPL season of 2024 injected a new dimension into their batting firepower. Amassing 567 runs across 15 innings at an astounding strike rate of 191.55, he played a pivotal role in redefining SRH’s approach, turning them into an unstoppable force at the crease.

As Travis Head braces himself up for yet another IPL season in 2025, here we take a look at his entire batting record in the prestigious Indian tournament so far.

Travis Head Record In IPL Over The Years

Travis Head bagged his maiden IPL contract in the form of a Rs. 30 lakh deal with the Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals) back in 2015. Aged 21 at a time, the promising youngster spent the entire season on the sidelines without breaking into the playing XI.

Later that year, the RCB franchise nabbed Travis Head at the IPL 2016 auction for Rs. 50 lakhs. Spending a couple of seasons alongside Virat Kohli’s RCB pantheons, the blistering left-hander collectively played 10 games and managed to score just a solitary half-century in the process.

After enduring multiple snubs at IPL auctions and occasionally stepping away to prioritize international commitments following his RCB stint, Travis Head eventually became a part of the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) group in 2024 courtesy of his meteoric rise as Australia’s big-match talisman in ICC events.

His presence at the top of the order for SRH not only revitalized the franchise but also saw them script three of the four highest team totals in IPL history, an astonishing feat achieved within a span of just over three weeks in mid-2024. Furthermore, Travis Head blasted 89* off just 30 in an unbroken 167-run stand from less than 10 overs with fellow slapdash stroke-maker Abhishek Sharma to make lightwork of LSG’s competitive total.

Maintaining as astonishing strike rate of 191.55, SRH’s Australian import finished as the season’s fourth-highest run-maker.
