How many times has Travis Head been dismissed for a duck against India in international cricket?

Travis Head has been dismissed for a duck only once in his international career against India, until December 26, 2024. That was on Day 1 of the fourth Border-Gavaskar Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

Head, who has been in great form against India in previous encounters, was dismissed by Jasprit Bumrah for a duck. He came in to bat at No. 5 with Australia's score at 237/3 and played without trouble against Washington Sundar initially.

However, Bumrah set a perfect field to trouble the left-hander. On the second delivery from Bumrah, Head decided to shoulder arms, expecting the ball to miss the off-stump.

Instead, the ball came back in, hitting the off and middle stumps, and Head was out for a duck. Before this dismissal, Head had been a constant threat to India, with several big scores across formats.
