Australia crushed India at a near-capacity Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad exactly on this day, two years ago. Travis Head emerged as Australia’s biggest hero of the match, scoring a scintillating century to make a mockery of India’s unbeaten juggernaut that tournament.

Celebrating two years of Australia’s historic World Cup win, Head has now taken a trip down a memory lane, albeit with a whimsical social media post.

On November 19, 2025; i.e., on the second anniversary of Australia’s 2023 World Cup win, blistering top-order batter Travis Head celebrated the occasion with a cheeky throwback post on social media. Head, who was ‘Player of the Match’ in the final, took to his Instagram account and shared a picture of the Australian team lifting the coveted silverware on the winner’s podium.

For the unversed, Australia steamrolled table-toppers India in the final of the 2023 ICC Cricket World Cup in Ahmedabad in front of nearly 100,000 spectators. Opening the innings for Australia, Travis Head scored 137 runs from 120 balls after surviving India’s early new-ball scare, one that reduced his team to 47-3 at one stage.

The blistering opener clattered 15 fours and four huge sixes in his innings, and crafted a match-defining partnership of 192 runs with half-centurion Marnus Labuschagne. Earlier in the match, Australian captain Pat Cummins and his pace mate Josh Hazlewood picked up two wickets each, while Mitchell Starc unfurled the spell of the innings with figures of 3-55 to restrict India to just 240 in 50 overs, despite coping an early onslaught from vintage opener and then Indian captain Rohit Sharma.
