Australia Opening Batter Travis Head launched Aiden Markram for a huge six on the deep-midwatch border as it scores a big scale in a dead rubber game against South Africa in the last one day game of the series.
Australian batsman Travis Head has been lagging behind since IPL 2025; He could not draw anything special to Australia at the White-Ball Games after the closing of the IPL. The final ODI against South Africa has probably again exposed its cruel side.
While struggling with white-ball cricket, he has been unavoidable in the longest format of the game, still playing an important hand in the Australian team’s limited success with the bat. Head played an important role in Australia’s Test Triumph at Caribbean.

[Watch] Travis Head launched Markram for six large scale
However, since his return to white-ball cricket, he has struggled to score runs for Australia in the South Africa Home Series. He played in the T20I series as well as before Odis, but forget about his main form; He looked like an amateur on the field.
However, despite a sudden dip, Australians have not dropped him, and backing has produced fruit as Travis Head breaks a swashbuckling ton in the final ODI. Although Australia may already lose series, this return to form is a good sign before the India series in October.
Aiden Markram bowled on the head as he bounced a delivery angle towards the batsman’s pad. He works hard on it, intends to send it out of the park, and gets the desired results as the ball was seen going to the roof of the stadium.
