Can tell my grandkids that I faced Bumrah: Travis Head
Head was one of the few Australia batters to keep his reputation intact in the heavy Perth loss, scoring a fighting 89 in the second innings, despite a searing pace performance led by Bumrah.

On the eve of the opening Test of the latest tussle for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia at the Optus Stadium in Perth, Jasprit Bumrah had stressed starting a new tradition of fast bowlers being handed Test captaincy.
There was a sense of self-motivation when Jasprit Bumrah came to address the pre-match presser ahead of the opening Test against Australia in Perth starting Friday.
Stand-in captain Jasprit Bumrah affirmed that his side is not carrying "any baggage" from India of their historic whitewash against New Zealand and offered surety about the team being well equipped for the challenging conditions and series ahead of them.
The Indian team took the flight to Barbados straight after hammering England convincingly by 68 runs in the second semifinal held in Guyana on Thursday, and landed in Bridgetown mere 24 hours before the big final.
Rohit Sharma's swashbuckling 92 followed by Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah and Kuldeep Yadav's influential spells along with Axar Patel's one-handed stunner sealed a 24-run win for India against Australia and sealed their berth in the semi-final of the ongoing T20 World Cup.
Rohit was effusive in his praise for his bowling unit that helped India successfully defend 119 —the lowest total between the two rivals in T20 World Cup history, but felt that the Indians fell 15-20 runs short on that tricky New York pitch.
Bumrah finished with impressive figures of 3 for 14 from his four overs, bowling 15 dot balls as Pakistan capitulated in their chase of 120 to find themselves in serious danger of an early exit.
The 30-year-old made a stellar return to international cricket when he was handed the captaincy to lead India in their three-match T20I tour of Ireland last August, and went on to claim 20 wickets in the 50-over World Cup.
