‘Won’t let Travis Head settle at crease’: Akash Deep

Team India, locked in a 1-1 series tie against Australia, aims for a historic third consecutive series victory Down Under. Pacer Akash Deep emphasises maintaining bowling discipline and exploiting perceived weaknesses of Australian batsmen like Travis Head’s vulnerability to short balls. India began the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series in style with a commanding 295-run win over Australia in Perth but suffered a 10-wicket defeat in the day-night Test in Adelaide. The third Test at the Gabba in Brisbane ended in a draw, setting the stage for a decisive showdown in Melbourne.
