Travis Head remained out of fielding on the last day

Travis Head batted on the last day of the third Test, but as soon as it was time for his team to field, he did not come on the field. In Australia's second innings, he scored 17 runs off 19 balls, but was dismissed by Mohammad Siraj. The Australian team tried to score runs quickly in their second innings so that a target could be set in front of Team India. But before the Indian batting started, rain stopped the game and eventually declared the match a draw.

Travis Head has slight swelling, but is expected to be fit

After the match, there was a lot of concern about Travis Head's injury. Earlier there were reports that he had a groin injury and he would not be available for the next Test. However, when Head received the Player of the Match award, he himself gave an update on his injury. Travis Head said that he has slight swelling, but he hopes to be fully fit by the next match. On this, Australia captain Pat Cummins also said that there is no major concern. The team's physio and the rest of the staff are with him and he will be ready for the next Test.

Head's injury after a great performance

So far in this series, Travis Head has scored 409 runs, and his average is 80. He has become the biggest batting threat for the Indian team at the moment. Indian bowlers are very worried about his batting ability. Whenever Head comes on the field, he has managed to play a big innings against Team India. In such a situation, if he plays fit in the next Test, then the challenge for the Indian bowlers will increase even more.

Will Travis Head being fit become the key to victory for Australia?

Travis Head being fit will definitely be a big advantage for the Australian team. His brilliant performance has already troubled the Indian bowlers a lot. If he plays fit in the next match as well, then Australia's batting can get strengthened. At the same time, it will also be a matter of concern for India that if Head's injury worsens, then there may be a void in their team, which can become a serious problem for Australia.

Now everyone's eyes are on the fourth Test starting from December 26, where Travis Head's fitness and his performance can decide the direction of Australia's victory. Meanwhile, the Indian team will also try its best to snatch this series from Australia by improving its game.
