Travis Head Picks His Favorite Indian Cricketer

Australia‘s hard-hitting opener Travis Head, who is setting the IPL 2025 stage on fire for Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), has revealed his admiration for Indian captain Rohit Sharma. In a recent interview, Head openly shared that Rohit is his favourite Indian cricketer.

The confession has taken fans by surprise. Head plays alongside several young Indian talents in the SRH camp — including Ishan Kishan, Abhishek Sharma, and Nitesh Kumar Reddy. But it’s Rohit Sharma, the Mumbai Indians (MI) captain, who has earned his respect.

Rohit’s Calm Style Wins Head’s Respect

Head praised Rohit’s composed nature, stylish batting, and leadership skills. He called Rohit a calm presence on the field and someone he truly looks up to.

“Rohit Sharma is someone I really admire,” said Head in the interview.

“I would love to open with Rohit – it would be fun”, he added.

Fans were quick to react. The video has gone viral on social media. Supporters of Rohit praised Head’s honest words and his choice of idol.

Travis Head in IPL 2025

Travis Head has had a mixed start to IPL 2025, scoring 148 runs in 5 matches at a blazing strike rate of 189.74. While he played a standout knock of 67, consistency has been slightly lacking with no other major contributions so far.

Known for his explosive batting, Head has still managed to make an impact with 21 fours and 6 sixes, and his aggressive intent continues to be crucial for his team’s starts.

He has already played multiple match-winning knocks. Despite being surrounded by in-form Indian stars, Head’s choice shows the lasting impact of Rohit Sharma’s legacy in international cricket.

Rohit Sharma’s Global Appeal Keeps Growing

The clip of Head admiring Rohit has sparked conversations online. Fans are resharing the moment with captions like “Legend recognising legend” and “True respect.”

Rohit Sharma continues to inspire not just Indian fans, but international players as well. His elegance, composure, and white-ball dominance make him a global favourite.

Travis Head’s words are yet another reminder of Rohit’s influence. His legacy reaches beyond borders — and continues to earn admiration from players worldwide.
