Veteran cricketer Greg Chappell has described Travis Head as the best batsman in the world at present. He said- Head’s performance against Jasprit Bumrah in BGT is an example of his fearless approach and Australian formula of batting.

Former Australia captain Chappell believes that the reason behind Head’s success as a Test batsman is his spontaneity and aggression. Head has scored 409 runs with the help of two centuries and one half-century in the first 3 Test matches against India. He is the top scorer of the series.

Chappell wrote in his column in the Sydney Morning Herald…

Currently, Head’s performance against Bumrah is an example of his fearless approach. While other batsmen struggled against Bumrah’s unconventional action, pace and consistently accurate bowling, Head took him on like any other bowler. Head faced Bumrah with strong intentions and by attempting to score runs against him, not only reduced his threat but also disrupted his rhythm. His ability to play short pitched balls and drive full length balls is special, which shows his progress.

Chappell wrote- ‘From a raw, unexpected talent to one of the most influential male batsmen in world cricket, Travis Head has reached his peak. His journey is not just limited to overcoming challenges, but is also about maintaining the simplicity in his style which has become his identity.

Chappell believes- ‘Head is one of the most dangerous batsmen in the world, who can decide his strategy against the best bowlers. The essence of Head’s batting lies in his well-organized mind. He has chosen a path that prioritizes intention over caution. A mentality that inspires him to face every ball with the aim of scoring runs.

Chappell wrote- ‘In his current form, Travis exemplifies the Australian way of batting. The way his performance is being discussed right now. It becomes clear from this that Travis Head is the best batsman in the world.
