Australia has given some of the most aggressive players to the IPL, but in recent times, there have been two players who have taken the league by storm - Travis Head and Tim David. Head has been a revolution ever since his Australian comeback in 2021, and has gone on to become one of the most destructive batters across formats.
On the other hand, Tim David was snatched by the Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the IPL mega auction, and he has justified his selection with some great cameos for the IPL winners. With the two of them dominating the proceedings, we take a look at the IPL records of the Aussie stars across different phases.

(Head vs David in death overs)
In the death overs, both Head and David have stellar numbers, but one can see David's finishing skills, as he strikes at 191, as compared to 178 by Head. Finishing is Tim David's primary job, and he fulfils the role to perfection, while Head is also not far behind. Final verdict There is not much to separate the two power-packed players in terms of IPL numbers. While Head dominates the power-play, and David is exceptional in the death overs, the middle-overs battle has one clear winner.
In the middle overs, batting becomes a touch difficult, and this is where Head edges out with a better strike rate. The two play different roles for their side, but the numbers from overs 7-15 tells us that Head has the ability to adapt better, and hence, he marginally clears David.
