WATCH: Travis Head’s brain-fade moment sees him get clean-bowled by Jasprit Bumrah

The in-form Australia batter got cleaned up by Bumrah and was dismissed for a duck during the first day of the Melbourne Test

India pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah once again came up with the goods on the first day of the fourth Border-Gavaskar series Test in Melbourne. The seamer picked up the massive wicket of in-form batter Travis Head and sent him back to the dugout for a duck.

Head was Bumrah’s second wicket of the day after he had already dismissed Usman Khawaja earlier in the day. The pacer also would go on to dismiss Mitchell Marsh later on in the day to get India back into the game.

Coming back to Head’s wicket, Bumrah bowled a brilliant good-length delivery from around the wicket that jagged back into the left-hander after pitching slightly outside the off-stump. Head wasn’t able to judge the bounce of the delivery and this mistake ended up shattering his stumps.

This was nothing short of a huge wicket for the Men in Blue as Head had terrorized their bowling lineup during the last 2 Tests which were held in Adelaide and Brisbane respectively.

The batter once again could have taken the game away from India if they had let him settle on the field, however Bumrah had other plans and ended up implementing them perfectly.
