Team India spearhead Jasprit Bumrah bowled one of the best balls of the 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) to get rid of Australian batsman Travis Head in the fourth Test in Melbourne. Travis Head's sizzling form needed something special and that's exactly what Jasprit Bumrah produced.
Pat Cummins won the toss and elected to bat first at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on Thursday 26 December. The home team got off to a flying start with some aggressive batting from debutant Sam Konstas. Usman Khawaja and Marnus Labuschagne also scored half-centuries to put pressure on India.

The incident occurred in the 67th over of Australia's first innings. Travis Head decided to shoulder his arms to a backward delivery just outside the wicket. Head felt it wouldn't fit, but the ball went in and hit the top. The batsman had to depart without adding any runs to his tally.
