Travis Head is welcoming the idea of facing India in the T20 World Cup2024 final, though he admitted that India would want ‘revenge’.
Australia and ICC Titles: A Perfect Match
When it comes to ICC titles, no side is arguably better than Australia. Be it the ODI World Cup, T20 World Cup, or ICC World Test Championship, Australia has proven time and again that they have what it takes to deliver on the big stage. As the T20 World Cup 2024 approaches, Australia’s top-order batter Travis Head has shared his thoughts on the possibility of facing India in the final. He acknowledged that India, led by Rohit Sharma, would be eager for revenge.
Head’s Thoughts on a Potential India-Australia Final
In an interview with the Times of India, Head expressed his eagerness for Australia to reach the final and wouldn’t mind facing India again in the title decider.
“It would be nice. It would be nice to be in the final. Everyone in India would love that, especially considering what happened in the last two finals. So, I’m sure India wants some revenge at some point. There would be good theater around it if that were the case. Let’s hope that we’re in it, and let’s hope you’re in it, and we’ll see what happens,” he said.
Pressure on Rohit Sharma?
The Aussie hard-hitter was also asked about the possibility of India captain Rohit Sharma being under pressure to deliver, having faltered to secure an ICC title on previous occasions.
“I don’t think Rohit has too much to worry about. He’s been an exceptional leader for a period of time and is an exceptional player as well. So, I don’t think there’s any issue from that side of things. India is in good hands. I think you could probably name four or five teams that are going to be in the mix. Playing an attacking brand of cricket is crucial for them. With Rohit and Virat, and their exceptional bowling led by star bowler Bumrah, who has also been outstanding in the IPL, their chances are high. Their chances are probably similar to the three or four other teams that are in contention,” said Head.
Australia’s Journey in the T20 World Cup 2024

With a strong lineup featuring stars like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Jasprit Bumrah, India will aim to change their fortunes. The prospect of facing Australia in the final for a chance at redemption adds an exciting narrative to the tournament.
As the T20 World Cup2024 unfolds, the anticipation for a potential India vs. Australia final grows. Both teams have the talent and determination to make it to the final stages.
