India vs Australia: Australia's Travis Head has been a thorn in India's flesh for the past two seasons and hence the celebration of his wicket by Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah was massive on Monday. Head looked to have settled in and was on 89 when Bumrah came up with a dream delivery to dismiss him. Head tried to punch a back-of-a-length delivery from Bumrah only to find the outside edge and Rishabh Pant made no mistake behind the stumps. Kohli and Bumrah were over-the-moon once Head was dismissed.
