Travis Head has been arguably the most talked about cricketer in India since the World Cup ended. With his World Cup heroics, he has sealed his stint in next season of IPL but it remains to be seen which franchise will include him in its squad. In this article, we will take a look at 3 teams that can target Travis Head in the IPL 2024 player auction.
Punjab Kings
Punjab Kings might be one of the teams in the race to buy Travis Head in the upcoming IPL auction. At present Punjab has Shikhar Dhawan, Matthew Short, and Prabhsimran Singh as potential options to open the innings. Shikhar Dhawan being the captain is certain to open the innings but the other two options may not be as prominent as Travis Head. Travis Head has been in fantastic form and a team like Punjab would aim to include him in batting order to pair up with someone like Shikhar Dhawan.
Rajasthan Royals
Rajasthan Royals has the opening pair of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Jos Buttler in the squad but having a player like Travis Head at No.3 would greatly benefit the team. Travis Head can play both as an opener or as a top-order batsman which can be an incentive for Rajasthan Royals. A top-order batting lineup consisting of Yashasvi Jaiswal, Jos Buttler, Travis Head, and Sanju Samson would be an intimidating proposition for any opposition.
Gujarat Titans
Shubman Gill has emerged as the most important batter for Gujarat Titans but there has been no stable opening pairing for Gujarat. Wriddhiman Saha was the other opener last season but he could not impress much. This opens up the possibility of including another player who can be a perfect opening option to pair up with Shubman Gill. Travis Head can take on the bowlers from the start which will complement the batting style of Shubman Gill at the top.
