Travis Head, the dynamic Australian opener, has been a key player for Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2025. Known for his attacking style and ability to dominate in the powerplay, Head has already played two matches against Chennai Super Kings in the IPL, scoring 44 runs at an average of 22.00 and an impressive strike rate of 141.94. His highest score against CSK is 31, which he made at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium last season.
When it comes to individual matchups, Head has faced bowlers like Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, and Khaleel Ahmed with mixed success. He has particularly dominated Khaleel, scoring 15 runs off 5 balls at a strike rate of 300. However, Ashwin has been more effective, conceding only 19 runs in 40 balls and dismissing him twice.
In the ongoing IPL 2025 season, Travis Head has played 8 matches for SRH and scored 242 runs at an average of 30.25 and a fiery strike rate of 163.51. He started the season strong with back-to-back fifties, including a 67 against Rajasthan Royals, and also became the second-fastest player in IPL history to reach 1000 career runs (based on balls faced). Although his recent form has dipped—getting out for a duck against MI—he remains a crucial figure for SRH, especially in big clashes like the upcoming one against CSK.
