Travis Head's performance in IPL 2025

Travis Head began the IPL 2025 season right from where he had left in 2024, when SRH made it to the final. In their first game against Rajasthan Royals, he slammed a 31-ball 67 as his team began with a 44-run win.

However, SRH have gone on to lose all of their next four games and with just one win from five games, are languishing at the bottom of the table. Head made a 28-ball 47 against Lucknow Super Giants in their second game but has failed to deliver ever since.

From five games, he has scored 148 runs at an average of 29.60 and a strike-rate of 189.74. For SRH to return to winning ways and turn their campaign around, it will be crucial for Head to start scoring big again.
