In the ongoing match between India and Australia at the Adelaide Oval, Travis Head was given a lifeline, and it was a big blunder by India as he has showcased extraordinary form. In a dramatic moment during the 67th over of Australia's innings, Travis Head, who already looked dangerous at the crease, was handed a lifeline by Mohammed Siraj, who failed to hold onto a catch in the deep. 

Mohammed Siraj Gives Travis Head A Lifeline

Mohammed Siraj, stationed at deep mid-wicket, had to cover ground quickly as Head slog-swept a ball from Ravichandran Ashwin. The ball, a top edge, sailed high in the air, heading towards the gap between mid-on and long-on. Siraj sprinted back, his eyes fixed on the ball as it arced toward him. 

With his eyes above his shoulders and a full-stretch dive, the Indian pacer seemed poised to take a spectacular catch, but in a cruel twist of fate, the ball slipped through his fingers. 


Immediately after, Travis Head capitalised on the reprieve and continued his aggressive approach to the innings. His confidence was unwavering, and within no time, the left-hander had reached his well-deserved century. 

As Australia builds on Head’s crucial knock, the pressure is now squarely on the Indian bowlers to regroup and come back strongly. It is important to mention that, Indian bowlers need to break this partnership as soon as possible. At the time of writing Australia are at 267/5 at the lost of 5 wickets.
