Indian fans will never forget the day of 19 November 2023. On this day, Australia broke Team India's dream of becoming the champion and gave them a wound like the 2003 ODI World Cup. Travis Head played the most memorable innings of his career against India's Blue Army. He made the final one-sided by scoring 137 runs in just 120 balls. Head has repeated the same feat once again on Thursday, September 19 at Trent Bridge. Now fans have started feeling that Head has some special attachment to the date 19 and the blue jersey. That's why his bat starts roaring as soon as he sees this date and this color jersey.
