Travis Head created history and broke Steve Smith's record in ODI cricket. Head scored 29 off 25 balls in the third ODI against India. The left-handed batsman scored 8 and 28 in the first 2 ODIs.

However, at the Sydney Cricket Ground on October 25, Travis Head played a 29-run knock from 25 balls at a strike rate of 116.00. The Aussie opener slammed six fours during his time on the crease. Mohammed Siraj ended Head's innings after he dismissed the Aussie in the second delivery of the 10th over.
