Australia batter Travis Head is all set to play against Indian speedster Jasprit Bumrah with the pink ball. Speaking ahead of the Adelaide Test against India, the second match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Head said that he knew what was coming. The Australian middle-order Test batter has been giving a tough fight to India over the past year.

However, Head batted well in the second innings of the first Test in Perth but he couldn't save the match for Australia. He scored 89 runs off just 101 balls before Bumrah brought himself back in the attack in the 39th over and dismissed him as well.

"I think I'm lucky that I faced him a few times" - Travis Head on Jasprit Bumrah

But, Head was confident about playing Jasprit Bumrah in the pink ball Test match and he also said that he knew what was coming his way.

"I am best when I just look for the cues when I'm, like, just preparing to watch the ball hard and staying fresh mentally. And I think I'm lucky that I faced him a few times. He comes across me a fair bit now, so it's going back to recent times and times you have played him and we've done it enough. Now we've been very fortunate to play him a lot. So, I know what's coming. It's just making sure that I'm prepared and fresh to play well," Travis Head said ahead of the Adelaide Test match.

"It’s nice to play against someone as challenging as him" - Travis Head on Jasprit Bumrah

"Jasprit will go down as probably one of the greatest fast bowlers to play the game. It’s nice to play against someone as challenging as him," Head said. "It’ll be great to tell my grandkids that I faced him. Hopefully, I’ll face him a few more times, but he’s definitely been a tough competitor."  

The batter was also asked about the body language of the Australian team, which did not look good on Day 3 and 4 of the Perth Test match after they were bundled out for only 104 runs in the 1st innings as well. Head also said that there was no need to give focus too much into things and that they were working on the changes before the 2nd Test as well.

"It's probably the closer losses that hit you by a bit of surprise that it takes a few days, but with the way that our Test played out, like we're pretty much outplayed. So, pretty easy to realise what we did wrong. Now we get three or four days to work on them and make sure. And it's not really massive changes, but hopefully with a bit of energy and knowing what's on the line, we can crack on and play well," Head concluded.
