The Indian Premier League (IPL) auction 2024 has already begun with a lot of players going under the hammer. One of the players who was predicted to be in demand was Travis Head. The left-handed batter from Australia has already impressed everyone with his consistent and attacking style of playing. His occasional handy off-spinners and fielding is also a great strength to have in any team. He was bought by the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) for 6.80 cr. This is one of the top picks in the IPL right now. Head can also be one of the players who can bring a positive change to a struggling Hyderabad franchise. 

Head has still not had a big impact in the IPL where he has played only 10 games where he has scored 205 runs at an average of over 29. He has been part of two IPL teams where he has not got a lot of game time. This is the only league in the South Australian batter has not yet shown his best game, whereas he has been one of the most successful batters in the Big Bash league and other leagues. The IPL is the only challenge he has not gained a lot of success at and will be looking to bring his A game to the number 1 T20 league in the world.

Why was Head in Demand?

Travis Head might not have the best numbers in IPL, but his recent form has been phenomenal. His performance for Australia in international cricket is enough to put him in demand, especially after his impressive innings in the World Cup Final where he scored a match-winning century and was adjudged man of the match. Everything is going from strength to strength for Head and he will be one of the most dangerous batters in the league to watch out for. This is his chance to show his game-changing ability in Indian conditions once again.

Head was one of the players who was predicted to have a huge demand, so it is no surprise that he is one of the best players right now with his attacking style of play with solid technique. All the fans in Hyderabad will be happy to see this match-winner play for their side and end their struggles in recent years. All eyes will be on him and everyone will want him to show his great form in the league.

Here's how the fans have reacted-
