The total number of Travis Head centuries in all formats are nine in number, and more often than not, they make a significant impact in the game.
Head was born on December 29, 1993, in Adelaide. Having done well in domestic cricket, he made his international debut at the age of 23 but didn't really get a consistent run in limited overs. His Test debut came in 2018 and since then he's been a regular in the side.
The 29-year-old offers a new dimension to the Australian side with his attacking style of batting. Whether his century against India in the WTC final or his exploits in the ongoing Ashes, Head has been a key figure for Australia in recent times.
Following Aaron Finch's retirement, Head has been trusted as the opener and he has taken his chances with both hands.
