As the cricket world eagerly awaits the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) 2024-25 series between India and Australia, Australian batter Travis Head shared his light-hearted take on who he thinks is the "hottest" Indian player. In a playful discussion on 7 Cricket, Head picked Indian skipper Rohit Sharma as the standout player in terms of both style and performance, while also joking that Jasprit Bumrah might need to "do some work" on his looks.

Travis Head, known for his humor and sharp batting skills, didn’t shy away from mixing a little fun with his analysis of India’s top cricketers. When asked about his pick for the most attractive Indian player, Head praised Rohit Sharma, saying:

"I don't think [Bumrah's] that good-looking. Potentially [he's got some work to do]. I think there's been hotter. I like Rohit's work and I am happy with the Dad setup. I think he's got the most style out of all of them. He stands at the top, takes them on, double stepping blokes in the powerplay. Both [physical attractiveness and cricketing skills]."

Head added, "I think people will [find him attractive]. Yeah, I just like the way he gets about it, Yeah, around the sheds. I am happy with it, I am happy with his setup. Jasprit, got some work to do. Maybe, after the Test matches [you pass that on]."

The friendly banter comes ahead of the highly anticipated Test series, which kicks off on November 22 at Perth’s Optus Stadium. Rohit Sharma, who has had an impressive track record against Australia, will once again be a key player for India. He has amassed 3,571 runs against Australia across all formats, including 2,033 runs on Australian soil. His recent standout performance came earlier this year when he scored a blistering 92 off 41 balls in the 2024 T20 World Cup, leading India to a thrilling 24-run victory over Australia.

Jasprit Bumrah, on the other hand, will be a crucial figure in India’s pace attack, and while Head’s comments were light-hearted, Bumrah will be focused on making an impact on the field in the upcoming series.
