Travis Head's Injury Bombshell: Cricket Fans Left Reeling After Latest Update

Even as the Australian camp was relieved that their series against India was still very much alive, there was another suspense brewing in the air. Their key player of the series, Travis Head, appeared to be slightly restricted in the second innings while batting against the Indians in the third Test.
