Australia announced their T20I squad for the upcoming 5-match series against India in October. Before that, two teams will play 3 One Day International matches as well. Cricket Australia named Travis Head in the T20I squad. Whenever Head stepped into the field against India, it turned into an exciting duel. Throughout his career, Head played some remarkable innings against the Men in Blue. But, specifically in the T20I format, how's the batter's performance against India? 

Best 3 innings by Travis Head vs. India in Twenty20 Internationals:

1. 76 vs India, 2024: During a Super Eights match of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024, Head played his best T20I knock against India. In a high-scoring game, the Aussie opener scored 76 off 43, powered by nine 4s and four 6s, but could not save his team from defeat. India won the match by 24 runs; Rohit Sharma was the best player of the match. India scored 205 runs, and Australia notched 181 runs in 20 overs. 

2. 48* vs India, 2017: It was an easy win for India in Guwahati, as India was able to score only 118 runs in the first innings. Australia won the game by 8 wickets in 15.3 overs. Head remained not out for 48 runs, facing 34 deliveries. He smashed 5 boundaries and one over-boundary to create the innings.

3. 35 vs India, 2023: Australia won the match by chasing down a massive total of 223 runs. Ruturaj Gaikwad and Glenn Maxwell were the centurions of the match. In this match, Head scored 35 off 18 with eight 4s, providing Australia a necessary early quick-fire start. 

Australia’s T20I squad vs India for the first two games: 

Mitchell Marsh (captain), Sean Abbott, Xavier Bartlett, Tim David, Ben Dwarshuis, Nathan Ellis, Josh Hazlewood, Travis Head, Josh Inglis (wk), Matthew Kuhnemann, Mitchell Owen, Matthew Short, Marcus Stoinis, and Adam Zampa. 

Cricket Australia (CA) has unveiled a 14-player lineup for the impending five-match T20I series against India, which kicks off on November 23. In the wake of several senior players opting for a break, wicketkeeper-batter Matthew Wade has been named as the skipper for this series.

The roster boasts of seasoned cricketers including David Warner, Steve Smith, Travis Head, Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis, and Adam Zampa. After their stint in the ICC World Cup 2023, players like Mitchell Starc, Mitchell Marsh, Pat Cummins, and Josh Hazlewood are set to head back home.

Taking the captaincy on a temporary basis, Matthew Wade steps into a role that has been vacant since February. Though he has been away from international cricket post the T20 World Cup, he was recalled as a backup for the series versus South Africa.

George Bailey notes Matthew Wade’s past captaincy experience for the team

Australian cricket team’s chief selector, George Bailey, emphasized Matthew Wade’s past captaincy stints and his leadership prowess. He compared this to Mitch Marsh leading the team in the series against South Africa.

“Matthew has previously held the captain’s mantle, and he’s a natural leader within our squad. Just as we saw with Mitch Marsh during the South Africa games, this series presents a valuable chance to expand our pool of leadership talent at the international level,” Bailey remarked.

The lineup for the series includes players such as Tim David, Sean Abbott, Josh Inglis, Jason Behrendorff, and Nathan Ellis. Meanwhile, Matt Short, Spencer Johnson, and Tanveer Sangha have maintained their positions. Unfortunately, Ashton Agar won’t be playing due to a calf injury.
