In a recent interview, the Australian star opened up about his admiration for Indian skipper Rohit Sharma, naming him as his favourite Indian cricketer.

He registered scores of 67, 47, 22, 4, and 8 as Hyderabad suffered four consecutive defeats in the tournament.

Travis Head’s Performance for SRH in IPL 2025
Travis Head kicked off IPL 2025 on a high note. He continued the form that helped Sunrisers Hyderabad reach the final last season. The batter smashed 67 off just 31 balls, leading SRH to a convincing 44-run win in their opening match against Rajasthan Royals.
Head scored 47 runs off 28 balls in the next game against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). SRH lost their next four matches, leaving them with just one win from five games and placing them at the bottom of the standings.
Head has scored 148 runs across five matches at an average of 29.60 with an impressive strike rate of 189.74. His numbers suggest aggression at the crease, but consistent big scores are now crucial if SRH hope to revive their season.
