Ricky Ponting Talk About Travis Head says, “One of the Best All-Format Players.”
The 2003 World Cup-winning captain of Australia, Ricky Ponting, was impressed with Travis Head's sensational display and called him one of the best all-format players in the world. The left-handed Australian opener took the fight to Indian bowlers, kept the run flow above the asking rate, and produced an exhilarating knock of 137. Ponting praised Travis for his performance and told Sky Sports, "Travis is emerging as one of the three or four best all-format players in the world. His test record is outstanding. He is unorthodox at times in one-day cricket, and you wonder how he will get past the new ball, but he does and scores big runs."
Australia captain Pat Cummins sang praises of the explosive opener, hailing his ability to put pressure back on the opponents, and said, as quoted from the ICC, "That was a big risk. I think we could have been made to look really silly if that didn't pay off, but you've got to take those risks to win a tournament. And Trav, the player we've seen in Test cricket, just epitomises everything I want out of a cricket team. He takes the game on, he plays with a smile, he just puts the pressure right back on the opposition, and he's just great fun to be around. So, I couldn't be happier for Trav."
