Ahead of the much-awaited Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia, Travis Head shared a light-hearted moment in an interaction with 7 Cricket. He picked Rohit Sharma as the “hottest” player of the Indian team ahead of star pacer Jasprit Bumrah. Citing Head’s candid comments on personal preferences has created ripples of its own, as the reason why Head thought Rohit Sharma was “hottest” was both in terms of looks and cricketing.
Travis Head on Rohit Sharma’s Style and Hotness When asked to pick which of the Indians is the “hottest”, Travis Head didn’t have a second thought about choosing Rohit Sharma over Jasprit Bumrah. “I don’t think he’s that good-looking. Potentially he’s got some work to do. I think it’s been hotter. I like Rohit’s work and I am happy with the Dad setup,” said Head with laughter.
"So Rohit plays a pull shot and you're thinking … 'that's a good looking man.'"
Somehow the conversation with Travis Head ended there, when the starting point was … Jasprit Bumrah's bowling.@gradecricketer pic.twitter.com/FqocYbQxoQ---Advertisement---— 7Cricket (@7Cricket) November 15, 2024
Head also praised Rohit Sharma’s cricketing skills, saying: “He stands at the top and takes them on double-stepping blokes in the powerplay.” He further said that he admired watching the Indian captain’s approach on the field and off it, and admitted to being a fan of his style and leadership.
Head humorously reacted to Jasprit Bumrah, saying, “Jasprit, got some work to do. “ He was referring to his opinion of the fast bowler’s physical appearance, though he did not rule out the cricketing talent.
How Will Rohit Sharma Miss The 1st Test Of The Border-Gavaskar Trophy?
One of India’s most solid and charismatic players, Rohit Sharma, is likely to miss the first Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series starting November 22. Some reports had already come in the previous month that Rohit Sharma might sit out for personal reasons, raising questions about crucial pre-Australia series.
The rumor and speculations did make it to the ears of Rohit Sharma after India’s recent 0-3 whitewash against New Zealand at the Wankhede Stadium. In a press conference, Rohit said, “I am not too sure about Perth. But fingers crossed.”.
The Border-Gavaskar Trophy has in store five exciting test matches that will start from November 22. India has scheduled the first test at Optus Stadium in Perth as a very crucial match to be played against Australia. Pat Cummins is leading the Australian team.
For India, Rohit Sharma has been given his chosen team, aiming to safeguard home turf. Preparations for this first test without the presence of their captain might change its dynamics.
