Former Pakistan skipper, Sarfaraz Ahmed's iconic yawn during the World Cup 2019 game Vs India has become legendary and it seems like Aussie opener, Travis Head followed the same path and channelers his inner Sarfaraz during the Champions Trophy match against England at Gaddafi Stadium.

The match turned out to be an adventure for the English side with their batters dominating the proceedings, however, it was a nightmare for the Australian team as their depleted bowling attack looked clueless against the opposition.

Head gives tribute to Sarfaraz

It was a run-feast for the fans, and while Ben Duckett's blistering 165 stole the show, the iconic moment from the Australian camp popped up towards the end of the 50-over mark when both the sides were going back to the pavilion and the camera focused on Head, who was yawning and it recreated the old memories of Sarfaraz Ahmed who did it first against India.

The Sarfaraz Ahmed meme took place when India were batting and Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli tore apart their bowling attack with utmost ease.

Duckett's ton propels England to 351

On a flat surface at the Gaddafi Stadium, Australia decided to bowl first and England made the most of the opportunity as Ben Duckett was off to a flying start.

England lost 2 early wickets, but Duckett, alongside Joe Root forged a crucial partnership and steadied their ship. Despite losing wickets at regular intervals, Duckett continued to pile on runs as he smashed 165 and helped England breach the 350-run mark. The opening batter's individual score was also the highest by a player in the history of Champions Trophy.
